John Craig.〔 The final structure which was completed in 1749 is still in use and holds the distinction of being the oldest Presbyterian Church in continuous use in Virginia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Augusta Stone Church ) and (''Accompanying photo'' )〕
== History ==

The congregation was founded in 1740 by the Rev. John Craig, and a log meeting house was constructed 1/4-mile from the present stone church.〔 The stone church which was intended to serve as both a meeting house and a fort against Native American raids; construction began in 1747 and was completed two years later. An old tale says there is a "secret passageway" in the minister's office that was meant for time of war. However, no member of the church has seen the alleged secret passageway, and there are no references to it in church records. In the early 1800s the small community near the church became known as Fort Defiance. The stone church has been in continuous use since 1749, making it the oldest Presbyterian house of worship in continuous use in Virginia. Two major additions were added to the rear of the church. The transepts in the sanctuary and a wing of rooms and offices were added in 1921-22, and a large social hall (called "John Craig Hall") and kitchen which were completed in 1956. The church has a museum on the property containing artifacts from the church's early history.〔(Museum )〕
The two cemeteries at the church contain the graves of Revolutionary and Civil War veterans.〔(Cemeteries )〕 The museum houses the baptismal records of the Rev. John Craig from 1740-1749.〔(Genealogy )〕
