This is a personal website that I began to experiment with digital ministry. I no longer maintain or update the site. You are welcome to contact me directlyAT pastorblainehill@gmail.com.

Some of my sermons may be found here.

I'm V. Blaine Hill, and this website shares my work as a pastor in the Presbyterian Church (USA) and a few of my interests outside of service in the church. I began serving the First Presbyterian Church of Lynchburg, Virginia, in August of 2026, my home church and the place where I was ordained by the Presbytery of the Peaks in 2001. I served as the Associate Pastor at Lake Murray Presbyterian Church in Chapin, SC, from 2016 to 2026, having served as the Head of Staff for about a year.  I served as pastor of Cherokee Presbyterian Church in Lexington, South Carolina, from 2005 to 2016, and the pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Waverly, New York, from 2001 to 2005.  I graduated with a B.A. from Hampden-Sydney, College ('94), with an M.Div from Columbia Theological Seminary ('01), and again in 2026 with a D.Min.  I worked with emotionally disturbed boys in a wilderness program and as a business phone equipment salesman before attending seminary.    My wife and I have been married since 1996, and we have four amazing children.  I enjoy woodworking, cooking, and the outdoors. I continue to deny the persistent rumors that I paid for my education by spending the summers as a sword swallower in the circus.
