Covenant Fellowship

Who are we?

Christ treasured, Scripture central

Welcome to Covenant Fellowship, where Christ is treasured, Scripture is central, and every gathering is shaped by the gospel. As a Reformed Baptist church, we joyfully embrace the historic doctrines of grace, expository preaching that unfolds the riches of God’s Word, and reverent worship blending timeless hymns with biblically rooted contemporary songs.

We are located in Bedford, Virginia, near Smith Mountain Lake, and meet with families from Bedford County, Franklin County, Roanoke County, and Campbell County.

Our beliefs

Here is a summary of the truths we hold dear

  1. The inspiration, infallibility, and authority of the Bible.
  2. That there is one eternal God who exists in Three Persons (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit).
  3. The absolute sovereignty of God.
  4. The deity of Jesus Christ; His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary death, His physical resurrection, and His ascension into heaven.
  5. The present session of Jesus Christ in heaven and His future return to judge the world and to consummate His kingdom.
  6. That salvation is by the sovereign grace of God alone, on the basis of the atoning sacrifice of Christ, and wholly apart from human merit.
  7. That God commands all men everywhere to repent and to believe the Gospel.
  8. That the church is composed of those who confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and submit to His rule and authority as set forth in the Scriptures.
  9. That Christians have the solemn obligation to conduct themselves at all times in a manner worthy of the Gospel they profess to believe.

Our officers affirm the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, and our members affirm the Members’ Confession. Read how we are governed in our Constitution.
