Today, The First Baptist Church of Bluemont remains standing, yet needs a full restoration to preserve a piece of American history.  Our “Little Church” of Bluemont Capital Campaign goal is to preserve every part of the 1888 First Baptist Church of Bluemont and during the process, adaptively reuse the mid-1900s cottage behind the church to establish collaborative workspaces for the O Street International (OSI) Opportunity Center for Cultural & Historical Preservation. 

Our campaign has three primary goals:

• Preserve and restore the exterior and interior of the Church back to its earliest days when it was built in the mountains by people who placed their faith and futures in the Lord. During this process, we will ensure the Church remains a center of faith in God, Jesus Christ, and surrounded by the Holy Spirit. As our renovation, revenue, and fundraising goals are met, we will open to the public providing all the services the Church was intended – fellowship, ministry, discipleship, Sunday services, community needs, education, building our youth, and providing a hedge of protection for those who need it.       
• Rehabilitate the small cottage which was built in the mid-1900s which will be named in honor of its longest resident and First Baptist Church member, Ms. Marie Scott. 
• Establish the OSI Opportunity Center for Cultural & Historical Preservation. We will continue to embark on groundbreaking cultural and historical programming that has driven our organization for over a decade. The Opportunity Center for Cultural & Historical Preservation will provide in-class curriculum, reading materials, digital content for educators across the globe.  Lastly, we will host cultural and social events to connect with our supporters, community, and express the value of preserving history. 
• Establish the OSI Opportunity Center for Cultural & Historical Preservation to further expand and grow our groundbreaking cultural and historical programming.  Our mission will be to restore, preserve, and protect American history by developing an educational community centered on providing a historical lifeline for future generations.
