Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Episcopal church in Port Conway, United States
Emmanuel Episcopal Church stands on the west side of U.S. Route 301, featuring Gothic Revival architecture designed by John Rudolph Niernsee with a historic graveyard.
Built in 1859, the church survived Civil War damage when a Union soldier, playing its organ, convinced fellow soldiers not to destroy the structure.
The church maintains its original Henry Erben pipe organ, which continues to provide musical accompaniment during religious services throughout the year.
Religious services occur twice monthly under the guidance of Rev. Richard Fichter Jr. within the Hanover-with-Brunswick Parish of Virginia's Episcopal Diocese.
The church grounds connect to Belle Grove plantation, where United States President James Madison was born in 1751.
