The Piney Creek Church of the Brethren was founded in 1899 by Solomon Stoner and Samuel Utz. Services were held once a month in the Walnut Grove School House which was located one mile west of the present building. In time, two houses made up the congregation; the present building and another at Greenville on the Harney Road.
The Piney Creek Church celebrated 100 years of fellowship on September 18-19, 1999
