Alleghany County's deep spiritual roots are reflected in the number and diversity of the churches for such a small community.
The following directory includes the physical, 911 address of each church, and phone number where available. Please note that the churches' mailing addresses are usually different from the physical address. In all but the largest churches, no staff are available during the week and an attempt has been made to include a contact and phone number for the church.
