The Following is a brief summary of
our history, as it appears in our Constitution:
The congregation which is presently
known as Covenant Reformed Baptist Church began with the desires of families
in the Bluefield area to see a biblical local church established. While
some of the families participated in meetings in the 1980's, the present
group had its first meeting together in April of 1994. Shortly thereafter
the families prayerfully considered taking steps which could lead to the
formation of a church holding to the 1689 London Confession of Faith. In May 1994, the group began holding Wednesday
meetings, adopting the name Covenant Baptist Fellowship. In April 1995
Covenant Baptist Fellowship requested oversight from the Grace Reformed
Baptist Church of Mebane, NC, which resulted in the commencement of Sunday
evening services in May 1995 and regular Lord's Day morning and evening
services beginning October 8, 1995. During the years of waiting the diverse
group which formed Covenant Baptist Fellowship grew in unity and love for
the brethren. On May 23,1998 the patient prayers of these families were
answered when they constituted as Covenant Reformed Baptist Church of
Bluefield.
