In the Early 60's, a group of people started Gospel Grace Brethren Church in the Starkey area of Roanoke County. As God prospered them they bought property and built the existing sanctuary.
As time went on the church dwindled in members and the attendance dropped. A Pastor from Rocky Mount Virginia had been holding revivals at the church for about four years. He had a meeting with the membership and made the suggestion that they should form an Independent Baptist Church.
They voted to do so that very night, and Lamplight Baptist Church was started in November of 2001.
