J.T. Edwards Society

In January 1946, Culpeper was approved as a site to build a home for senior adults and the Certificate of Incorporation was signed and filed in the Culpeper Clerk's office March 25 of the same year. Originally registered as Virginia Baptist Home for the Aged, Inc., the charter was amended in 1954 to change the name to Virginia Baptist Homes, Inc. It was Dr. Edwards who first introduced the idea of this home for senior adults to the Baptist General Association of Virginia. Sixty years later, his vision continues to thrive and expand.

The J.T. Edwards Society was established in 1996 to honor those who support the legacy of Dr. Edwards through any form of planned giving, including bequests, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts or gifts of life insurance. These gifts provide us with the ability to plan for the future success of this ministry.

JTE Society members extend a lifetime of support through gifts, volunteer hours and membership. Like Dr. Edwards, these visionary individuals are leaving their own legacy for future residents of Virginia Baptist Homes and we are proud to honor them through membership in this society.
