Dinwiddie Presbyterian Church is one of the six Childress rock-faced churches located in the Virginia counties of Floyd, Carroll, and Patrick, built between 1919 and the early 1950s by Presbyterian minister Robert W. Childress. The six churches are significant in their embodiment of Appalachian patterns of Presbyterian religious worship and Presbyterian social activism in western Virginia. The churches also tell the story of the remarkable ministry of Robert W. Childress, who brought spiritual faith and social awakening to the people of the central portion of the Blue Ridge Province in Virginia. The Dinwiddie Presbyterian Church and Cemetery stands the farthest distance from the original Buffalo Mountain Church, 13 miles northwest. It was built of local fieldstone in 1948, with Childress and local citizen Richard Slate directing the construction without architects or plans. The associated cemetery is bounded by fieldstone pillars matching the church.
