FEATURED LIVING HISTORY · SUNDAY SERVICE
Bobby Isley: The Circuit Rider
Traveling preachers known as circuit riders journeyed on horseback through Appalachian communities, carrying their Bibles and bringing worship and fellowship to remote settlements.
At The Foxfire Gathering, Bobby Isley will bring this tradition to life through reenactment and storytelling, arriving on horseback to open Sunday Service at the revival tent.
Join us for this special glimpse into Appalachian history and heritage.
