~~ "Building Unity in the Body of Christ from the Birthplace of America" ~~
~Jamestown Visitor's Center, Jamestown, VA ~ Susan Constant, Godspeed, and the Discovery
The history of Jamestown Island has an important connection with Jamestown Christian Fellowship. The pastors of the church, Wade and Lisa Trump, have family heritage that date back to the original settlers. As early as 1611 and no later than 1616, John Johnson, like many others, came to Jamestown in hopes of starting a new beginning. He was known as a "Yeoman and ancient planter". John was given a patent from Governor Sir George Yeardly and Captain Sir Francis Wyatt for 100 acres of land divided out into two parcels. The first parcel was a 15 acre plot near the eastern end of Jamestown Island and the second was an 85 acre plot at Jockey's Neck, west of Archer's Hope, now known as College Creek. The grant was given to him after serving the Virginia Company for seven years. Jamestown Christian Fellowships hopes to build a church as close as possible to the Jamestown Visitor's Center and establish a Christian History Museum that will exhibit the faith and work of our Christian forefathers in establishing America as a Christian nation.
