About Waymaker Church

Waymaker.Church started with a simple idea: help four grandmothers in a dying church fight for the eternities of their grandkids. In February 1999, they hired Pastor Jon Dupin and his wife, Tammy, to bring new energy to this little country church in Lynchburg, Virginia. For the last 25 years, we’ve pursued the same goal as those grandmothers: generational impact.In 2019, we changed our name from Brentwood Church to Waymaker.Church because we believe that our name should carry our calling. God is a Waymaker, and He has called us to be Waymakers too. That is why we remove obstacles and build bridges to make a way for people to be who God has created and called them to be.
