Nomini Baptist Meeting House
By the spring of 1787, more than seventy members were on the church roll and a central meeting place was needed. To meet that need, Joseph Pierce donated the use of a parcel of land for the construction of Nomony Meeting House. An interesting note is that in the early days of Baptist Churches in Virginia, a definite differentiation was made between the congregation and the building. The word, “church” was reserved for the members, while the building was referred to as the “meeting house.” The first meeting house was located in a field off of Menokin Road. One can see the historical marker at this location, which is on the right side of Menokin Road, when traveling south. Nomini was the largest Baptist church in Virginia in 1809 with 875 members.
