Three Chopt Presbyterian Church

Stonework is a Story telling podcast created by the Three Chopt Church family. Wheather we are listening to a deeply Biblical study that sees the truth in scripture as a message of healing, hope, or listening to one another's experiences in our own walks of faith and trial, we bear witness to God's amazing love. We know the Bible is hard to unwind and is often falsely used as a weapon to harm. Join us in looking at the Word and discovering how God's purpose manifests in our modern lives as we seek to be a church that Empowers, Embraces, and Equips a vibrante and exciting faith as a community

    Stories of Faith: Rush Cowherd

    Rush and Sarah Cowherd were high school sweethearts at Orange County High school. Rush was born in Gordonsville  and Sarah was born in the big city of Orange. They were married in 1954 and had three girls, Anna, Jane and Sara. Rush worked for the IRS and Sarah ran the household with three little ones occupying her days. After their marriage in 1954, ther young family with three girls moved from Charlottesville to Richmond.  One Sunday they discovered a group of people meeting at Ridge elementary school. This young family felt welcomed and quickly joined the congregation -Three Chopt Presbyterian. Rush served as an Elder, Trustee, Clerk of the Session, unofficial painter, etc. to name a few roles. Rush knew every face coming through the doors. He was the “Google” of this time as he could tell you anything you needed to know about members, finances, etc.  Sarah taught Sunday School, attended Bible Studies, provided a taxi service for the girls to youth activities, etc. TCPC has always been a center point of the Cowherd family. This was/is their extended family. Rush and Sarah’s commitment and love for its people and ministry continues to this day. Through the challenges and joys of both the church’s and their lives the TCPC family has been an anchor.
