Willis Presbyterian Church and Cemetery in Floyd County, Virginia, is a Gothic Revival structure completed in 1954 as one of six distinctive "rock churches" founded and built by Bob Childress between 1919 and the early 1950s. The one-story, gable-fronted building features a roughly square Gothic Revival bell tower positioned at its northeast corner. Constructed on a poured concrete foundation with light framing walls, the church is distinguished by its thick exterior veneer of quartz and quartzite fieldstone. Also known as Grace Baptist Church, it was designated a Virginia Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
