OCCOQUAN, Va. — The Ebenezer Baptist Church in Occoquan was founded in 1883 by Rev. Lewis Henry Bailey, who was born into slavery, separated from his family, sold to Texas, and after emancipation walked back to Northern Virginia to reunite with them.

The church's story is one of faith, perseverance, and community. Now recognized with a Town of Occoquan historical marker and as part of the Prince William County African American History Trail, Ebenezer continues to honor a remarkable legacy that has endured for more than 140 years.
