“Nobody Told Me the Road Would Be Easy…”
In the future, your children will ask you, ‘What do these rocks mean?’ 7 Tell them the Lord stopped the water from flowing in the Jordan. When the Ark of the Covenant with the Lord crossed the river, the water stopped. These rocks will help the Israelites remember this forever.”
Joshua 4:6b-7

Our First Bible Study Series
“The Healing of Church Hurt”
Dr. Nathaniel West - Facilitator
One significant milestone in our family's life was overcoming the hurt of the congregation. As our new church family began to grow numerically, Pastor Whitaker discerned the need for a Bible study series on “Church Hurt”. We refocused our spiritual lives and learned to enjoy worship once again.
The Healing of Church Hurt series was facilitated by Dr. Nathaniel West and held in the Baptist General Convention of Virginia's rented multipurpose room.
Our First “Family” Fellowship
God restored our joy, and we learned to laugh again.
Our Pandemic Quarantine Years
(March/2020 – May/2023)
After six (6) months of “in-person” ministry growth, Covenant had to transition to an all-virtual worship platform quickly. Due to the quarantine, Pastor Whitaker and Pastor Maria converted their kitchen into a makeshift recording studio, sanctuary, and virtual pulpit of Covenant Fellowship Baptist Church. All Covenant ministries were home-based and “broadcasted” to the family and cousins of Covenant Fellowship Baptist Church from our Pastors’ home.
Post-COVID Coming Out of Quarantine
“In Search Of a Place for Worship”
Rented library rooms for Bible studies and park pavilions for worship. The Covenant family has been resilient in its dedication to the Lord. The Young Adults met in restaurants; recording studios were rented for Praise Team rehearsals; Praise Dance rehearsals were held in the private homes of members; and other ministries reserved spaces in restaurants and public places.
Our Current Worship & Location
Rooted in Faith. United by Love. Kept by God.
We are Covenant Fellowship Baptist Church!
