Geocache Description:

This is a small-sized container, easily accessed, located near a residential neighborhood in Virginia Beach.

Church Point #1 is a small, cammo cache, that only contains the log book. There is no room for a pen/pencil. We selected this location because of its scenic view and historical significance.

Near the Church Point marker was the original Old Donation Episcopal Church - the Mother of the Lynnhaven Parish. Records show that this church was in existence in 1639. When the channel from the Lynnhaven River to the Chesapeake Bay was cut, water rose over the old church, and it was abandoned. It was later rebuilt on its present site on North Witchduck Rd. At present, a plaque commemorating the church sits near the waterfront park, and the Mayor and City Council of VB have appointed May 20th of every year as Church Point Day.
