Slate Mountain Presbyterian Church and Cemetery is a historic Presbyterian church and cemetery in Christiansburg, Floyd County, Virginia. It was built in 1932, and is one of six "rock churches" founded by Bob Childress and built between 1919 and the early 1950s. The building consists of a one-story, gable-fronted rectangular form with a roughly square, Gothic Revival bell tower centered on the building’s front elevation. The building was erected on a concrete block foundation, and has walls of light wood framing covered with a thick quartz and quartzite fieldstone exterior veneer.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
