St. Peter's church on Mill Road is the main Church in Wales parish church within the village while the Roman Catholic congregation worships at St. Mary's church on Edith Road.
St Peter's Church was built in order to replace the old "Iron Church" in the village square in 1929-1930.
The previous "Iron Church" serviced as a Chapel of ease for St. Andrews since 1881 but could only hold 180 worshippers.
The Foundation Stone was laid on St. Peter's Day on the 29 June 1929 and was consecrated on 15 October 1930.
The Church was designed by the notable Glamorgan architect, J Coates Carter, and was built after his death.
Much of the masonry was re-used from the recently demolished Cyfarthfa iron and steel works.
St Peter's Church is currently a grade two listed building.

Dinas Powys is also noted for its 14th century Norman parish church, dedicated to St Andrew.
The building is located in the hamlet of St Andrews Major, just under a mile away from the Dinas Powys village centre.
Additionally there is the nearby church of St Michael and All Angels in Michaelston-le-Pit.

There are also two Methodist chapels within the village, one is a small "tin Tabernacle" in the Eastbrook area, at the top of Chapel close, opposite Eastbrook Railway station; the larger Methodist Church backs on to Station Road where, until May 2008 its front entrance was, the entrance has now been relocated to the access off Mount Road, on the edge of the common.
Dinas Powys Baptist Church meet in the Parish Hall on Britway Road, and Bethesda Chapel is on Fairoaks.
There is also a small Presbyterian church in the Highwalls Road area called Ebenezer Presbyterian Church.
