On May 31, Cypress Chapel Christian Church held a dedication ceremony for a new highway marker from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, celebrating its historical significance. The marker, designated as State Highway Marker K-187, traces the church's origins to approximately 1750 and highlights its role in the early religious and community life of the region. This event coincided with the church's recent 275th anniversary and was recognized as part of Virginia 250, a statewide initiative commemorating the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. Historical project consultant Mary Hill led the effort to secure the marker, which was funded by TowneBank and installed by Suffolk Public Works. The ceremony, attended by local officials, state representatives, church leaders, and community members, featured the unveiling of the marker and a reading of its inscription. Notable attendees included Brenda Roberts, representing U.S. Rep. Jen Kiggans, state Sen. Emily Brewer, and members of the Suffolk City Council. The dedication of this marker adds an important public historical designation to a congregation that has been a cornerstone of the Cypress community for nearly three centuries.
