The Rev. Kenny Davis History: Bybee’s Road Baptist church is an old yet vibrant landmark beside Rt. 613 (Bybee’s Church Road). It takes its name from a “Mr. Bibee” (Pleasant Bybee) who was a large landowner in Fluvanna and who gave his name to the road even before Fluvanna became a county in 1777. By 1795, his name identifi ed a group of Baptists, one of the arms of Lyles Church, who were do- ing religious work in the community. On May 8, 1826, the “Biby” group, composed of 25 male and 36 female members constituted themselves into a group called “The Baptist Church of Christ at Biby Road.” In 1832, the group offi cially broke off from the mother church, Lyles Baptist, drew up a covenant and constitution and called the Rev. Steven Easter as its fi rst pastor. Since that time 179 years ago, the church at Bybee’s Road has been worshipping and serving the Lord in what is now a very fast growing community. They have recently called the Rev. Kenny Davis as pastor, and they invite you to join them.
