The pastor for over 40 years was Fred Parker, who passed away in 2023.\u00a0 Currently the church has no regular pastor.\u00a0 \u00a0Visiting preachers hold worship services monthly.\u00a0 Sunday School is attended by 15 to 25 people.\u00a0 The congregation still celebrates Easter Sunrise service and has a Christmas program each year.\u00a0 They also give a bag of Christmas treats to all, a tradition for over 100 years. For many decades in the tiny community of Stoney Battery, a valley sheltered by the foothills of mountains beyond, everyone walked to church.\u00a0 And almost everyone went: the church was often so crowded that people stood outside during the services.\u00a0 Vacation Bible School always overflowed with happy children learning to sing the books of the Bible.\u00a0 Few faithful are left, but they are faithful.","og_url":"https:\/\/socialmogul.us\/RyeValleyHistory\/history-of-rowland-creek-church-of-the-brethren\/","og_site_name":"Rye Valley History","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/162341033791855","article_published_time":"2026-04-26T20:23:13+00:00","og_image":[{"width":446,"height":471,"url":"https:\/\/socialmogul.us\/RyeValleyHistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_4657.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Admin","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Admin","Est. reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/socialmogul.us\/RyeValleyHistory\/history-of-rowland-creek-church-of-the-brethren\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/socialmogul.us\/RyeValleyHistory\/history-of-rowland-creek-church-of-the-brethren\/"},"author":{"name":"Admin","@id":"https:\/\/socialmogul.us\/RyeValleyHistory\/#\/schema\/person\/6308938c62392deddff1e341295e52f6"},"headline":"History of Rowland Creek Church of The Brethren","datePublished":"2026-04-26T20:23:13+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/socialmogul.us\/RyeValleyHistory\/history-of-rowland-creek-church-of-the-brethren\/"},"wordCount":372,"commentCount":0,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/socialmogul.us\/RyeValleyHistory\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/socialmogul.us\/RyeValleyHistory\/history-of-rowland-creek-church-of-the-brethren\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/socialmogul.us\/RyeValleyHistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_4657.jpg","keywords":["Adwolfe","Brethren","Churches","Religion","Stoney Battery"],"articleSection":["Adwolfe","Brethren","Churches"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/socialmogul.us\/RyeValleyHistory\/history-of-rowland-creek-church-of-the-brethren\/#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/socialmogul.us\/RyeValleyHistory\/history-of-rowland-creek-church-of-the-brethren\/","url":"https:\/\/socialmogul.us\/RyeValleyHistory\/history-of-rowland-creek-church-of-the-brethren\/","name":"History of Rowland Creek Church of The Brethren -
