Grow in Our Faith
We offer spiritual growth opportunities for all ages.
Brown Bag Bible Study
Wednesday evenings at 6pm in the fellowship hall, we have a book, video, and discussion based Bible study. Brown Bag Bible Study allows folks a chance to fellowship together over supper, pray for our church family, and study the Word of God. Our studies and topics for discussion vary throughout the year.
Join us for the 6 weeks of Lent as we study Max Lucado’s new book “In the Footsteps of the Savior: Following Jesus Through the Holy Land”. Max weaves together in-depth teachings with reflections on his time in the Holy Land, guiding us through the events that took place in the actual places where Jesus walked. As we journey through Lent toward the cross and learn about the places Jesus walked and ministered, we hope to deepen our connection with our Savior.
Adult Sunday School
Through the study of scripture, our two adult classes are invited into a deepened relationship with God. Our parents’ class looks to devotionals, prayer, and God’s Word for encouragement in tackling the challenges young families face today. Our second adult class uses The Present Word study material as they connect scripture with faith and life.
Youth & Children’s Ministries
PreK - Kindergarten
This class begins to build children’s understanding of faith in Jesus Christ. Kids actively learn together using fun and engaging worship materials, music, videos, games, and crafts.
Elementary (1st - 5th Grade)
Using a Bible-based curriculum, elementary kids are encouraged to discuss their different life situations while learning to apply the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Middle & High School (6th - 12th Grade)
Middle and High schoolers spend time each week studying God’s Word through the use of a short devotional and group discussion around topical issues.
Meeting Times:
Middle & High School Youth (grades 6th – 12th) – Sundays at 10am for Bible study and alternating Sundays at 6pm for Bible study, games, fun & food!
Elementary Youth (grades 1st – 5th) – Sundays at 10am for Sunday school and alternating Sundays at 6pm for fun, games, food, and a Bible lesson.
Our Youth Ministry program seeks to nurture our youth’s faith, love for Jesus Christ, compassion for others, and heart for service through Bible study, fun events, and service opportunities. We strive to help youth develop an understanding of how they fit into the church, the community, and the world. The youth are the future of the church, so it is vital to give them a solid foundational understanding of Jesus Christ and God’s people in the world.
Some of our fun events include an awesome Vacation Bible School, a spooktacular Halloween trunk-or-treat event, a Christmas play and breakfast with Santa, trips to the ballpark, lock-ins, and more. We attend summer camp at Craig Springs Camp and Retreat Center where we study, learn, and meet God on the mountain. We strive to serve others through working at the Roanoke Rescue Mission and through our participation in other service opportunities. We also serve as counselors at Craig Springs’ Nature Camp for at-risk children.
“Don’t let anyone put you down because you’re young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity.” (1 Timothy 4:12)
Women’s Ministry
The Women's ministry is very active at Blacksburg Christian Church. Our Disciple Women’s Ministry (DWM) group meets monthly for fellowship, Bible Study and spiritual growth, ministry and community outreach service projects.
We hold various fundraisers throughout the year to fund our outreach efforts. We offer support to over fifteen local organizations such as the Virginia CARES program, the New River Valley Women’s Resource Center, the Valley Interfaith Childcare Center, Vittles for Vets, and the Montgomery County Christmas Store.
We also are involved in issues of global and national social injustice, crisis relief, and poverty.
Disciples Women’s Ministries is a conduit for diverse connections, empowering each woman to find her voice and live out her call.
“He has told you, human one, what is good and what the Lord requires from you: to do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8)

Building Community One Meal at a Time
Fellowship Lunches
Once a month, we gather after worship to share lunch and conversation. These lunches help us to grow in friendship and relationship with each other and help us build a community of friends who are welcoming to all and who nurture and help each other in life.
5th Sunday Breakfasts
Each 5th Sunday Breakfast provides an opportunity for folks to gather to share coffee and conversation and build community. Families enjoy biscuits and gravy, pancakes and sausage, and other yummy things all prepared by the men. There is no Sunday school on 5th Sundays so families can linger over breakfast to nurture their friendships. It is during this time of conversation that we hope to encourage and uplift each other and to share stories of what God has been up to lately in our lives. At Blacksburg Christian Church we believe that relationships, friendships, fellowship, and community are things that God loves!
"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
