Elevation Church - Roanoke

I was thrilled to find out that Elevation Church was nearby when I moved there. I am somebody that far been following them, especially their music. The messages are crystal clear to me. I didn't look too far into what they represent and never heard messages from their pastor until recent times. I just knew that I loved their music and what they said! What I didn't really expect was that it is a southern Baptist Christian Church. I prefer non-denominational Christian churches so the pastor's message came off a little too excited (sound ) for me. No matter what, that is an outstanding environment! This is just a place full with true worshipers. They are so kind and loving. It's a spiritually generous atmosphere. It was wonderful to stay after service to have a conversation with a few of them. I've been traveling a lot and all of my belongings are not moved to Virginia. I miss having a Bible but use my YouVersion Bible app. When they asked if there was anything that I needed, I answered would I able to have a Bible. You get to see this beautiful orange Bible that they gave to me. It is well put together and I'm very excited for it. We prayed before I left and I do intend to go back. A little problem is that I wish that they had more community/groups for women. I am a lady that does not have children and this particular location seems to hyper focus on women's groups that appear to have all children services associated with them. Mostly mom type groups. If you are a mom looking for community, I am sure that this would fit you well.

Overall, I was very happy with my experience. I just was a little overwhelmed with the delivery of the sermon because I am not Southern Baptist. I tend to lean a little bit more conservative, I like quiet and peaceful yet passionate delivered. This pastor is in a class of his own. He's knowledge and has a great message, just not for me. I love passion but this was very intense for me because I can't tolerate unexpected circumstances with behavior. Nonetheless, this is a total 5 ⭐ experience. The message was excellent and the people were extraordinary, just not my cup of tea. Give it a try! ✨👌

So grateful to have found Elevation Church! It's made such a huge impact on my life this past year and I can't wait to continue growing spiritually with them!

Love Elevation!!!! Was truly blessed at this Church when we came to visit!!

My son had a wonderful graduation there. Thank you

The staff is so friendly and the music is uplifting. Pastor Stephen is great everyone is welcome and you don't have to dress up

The campus pastor is just such a genuine and loving person as are the people who volunteer. Come as you are and feel the presence of God in your life. You'll keep coming back for more!

I'm proud to say this is my church and I'm blessed to have found it... If you've never been I promise it's unlike any church you've ever been to in a wonderful way. It's so laid back and accepting of everyone.. Everyone I've met is so friendly. I say if you've never been just go once and try it because once is all it took for me.

The best worship experience you'll get ANYWHERE! The music is really upbeat and gets you in the right place for worship. Pastor Steven is a PHENOMENAL speaker and even though he's not physically in Roanoke, his words are no less intense. There are so many opportunities to serve the community through this church. You will feel very welcomed as soon as you pull in to the parking lot.

Obviously targeting a younger crowd, the music is very upbeat, loud and you can literally feel the sub woofers! (They offer earplugs at the door.) This is the perfect place to get young children, middle schoolers and high school and college age kids involved and loving the worship experience! Even though there's been much controversy surrounding the church's pastor, and other things, I still believe it's the way to get younger folks interested and excited about church.

Always a great service. Great praise and worship. High-energy church.

Very welcoming church to those visiting Roanoke! They deliver VIP treatment to their guests. Wonderful message and passionate atmosphere for worship. I highly recommend attending!

This is my forever church home! Started going about 5 years ago and absolutely LOVE it!

It's an awesome worship experience, the people are so friendly and inviting. If you visit a couple times, I guarantee you that you'll keep coming and coming, and want to call it home.

This church is great, warm and friendly. I felt at home here and everyone was very welcoming.
