Kent,

You may be seeing a reference to the Disciples of Christ.  It originated out
of Barton Stone and Alexander Campbell in the early Second Great Awakening
and really thrived in Kentucky and Tennessee.  Not sure how influential in
Virginia though.  An email to the Lexington Theological Seminary (Charlie
Heaberlin) asking about church locations in Virginia during that time
(provided you know the location of this one) might glean more specific
results.

To all concerned:

What constituted the "Christian Church" in Virginia in the late 18th
Century.  I found the  it noted in a document where a bond was posted
for a minister and his church was referred to as the "Christian Church"
with no other mention of demomination.
