Peters Creek Church of the Brethren

About this church

Peters Creek Church of the Brethren in Roanoke offers an early conference-call or Zoom service Sundays at 8:30 a.m., Sunday School at 9:30, and indoor worship from 10:30 to 11:30. From May through October, a 9:30 outdoor drive-in service appears in the visitor schedule. Nursery and Children’s Church are available at the 10:30 gathering. Worship mixes contemporary praise with traditional hymns, giving visitors several formats rather than a single expression. Wednesday Bible study meets by Zoom at 7:30 p.m., while the Thursday Night Thing runs from 5:30 to 7:30.

The congregation began in fall 1845 and has served the area for more than 175 years. Its historical room preserves artifacts, architectural details, and stories; church tradition also associates the early meeting place with care for soldiers during the Battle of Hanging Rock. As part of the Church of the Brethren, Peters Creek emphasizes doing as Jesus did through discipleship, peacemaking, service, and cooperation with Christian and interfaith partners in the United States and abroad. This may suit Roanoke residents seeking remote, drive-in, or indoor worship choices, a clear children’s option, blended music, and a community shaped by a long Brethren history.
