New Providence Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church located at Brownsburg, Rockbridge County, Virginia. It was built in 1859, and is a monumental, one-story Greek Revival style brick building. Rev. Robert Lewis Dabney (1820-1898) may have had a hand in the design of New Providence. The front facade features a central recessed portico marked by slightly projecting flanking piers and a similarly projecting pediment supported on two massive, unfluted Doric order columns. In 1926 a three-story, brick Sunday School wing was added to the rear.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
