ABOUT US | Twin Oaks

Welcome

We are so excited that you have taken time to visit us. Perhaps you're new to Twin Oaks and wondering what we're like. The best way we can describe our church is to say that Twin Oaks is a unique place where it doesn't matter if you’re six or sixty, you’re right at home.

Twin Oaks first began in the early 90's when a small group of believers felt led to meet together for prayer. As they continued to pray for God's guidance, it soon became evident that the Lord was leading them to establish a new church.

In 1992, this new church was given the name "Twin Oaks Baptist Church" and became a part of the Southern Baptist Convention and the Southern Baptist Conservatives of VA. Since that time, buildings have been built, many more members have been added, numerous new ministries have been developed and Twin Oaks has become a flourishing church.

At Twin Oaks the worship is exciting, the teaching is practical and the atmosphere is always friendly. Attend a service; join us in worship; experience the Twin Oaks excitement!

Pastor Terry Covey

Welcome

As Twin Oaks Baptist Church, we exist to:

experience God's majesty through genuine worship in praise, prayer, fellowship, and service
proclaim God's Word as absolute truth through practical preaching, teaching, and instruction
demonstrate God's love by identifying and meeting needs in our fellowship and community
share God's grace by introducing people to Jesus Christ beginning in this community and extending throughout the world
equip God's people for a life of service to God, to their church, and to their fellow man through Biblical training and discipleship

Going to a new church can be scary at first. You don't know any of the people, you are unsure what to expect, and you are seeking God at the same time. Relax, Twin Oaks is the kind of Church you have been looking for. First of all, we love Jesus. Secondly, we truly are a church family made up of people from all walks of life who simply love one another. Finally, if you want to come to a place to grow in your faith and be surrounded by people who will love you through the ups and downs of your journey then you are at the right place.

You can expect a warm and welcoming environment that will allow you to engage in worship, be enriched by God's Word, and experience genuine community. We are a church family made up of people from all walks of life who love the Lord and each other.

We provide a nursery during our worship service for babies and toddlers (birth to 18 months).

We also provide a Kidz Church for children (3 years old to 6th grade). All of our children's ministry workers are required to have a background check and we use a "check-in / check-out" system to ensure the safety of your children.

Our greeters and ushers will be happy to assist you in locating our children's ministry areas.

Church Staff

Lead Pastor

Terry Covey

Terry has served as the Senior Pastor of Twin Oaks since 2003. Prior to his coming to Twin Oaks, he served eleven years as an associate pastor in Ohio, where the primary focus of his ministry involved ministering to young families.

Terry and his wife, Tammy, are both natives of Pulaski County, Va. They have two adult daughters who, along with their husbands, actively serve in their local churches. They also have four grandchildren whom they are very proud of.

Terry's life verse is Hebrews 11:6: 'But without faith, it is impossible to please Him; for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.' He has chosen this verse because it reminds him that his faith in Christ is the core of his spiritual walk, and that he must continue to seek God daily in order to experience His greatest blessings.

Office Manager

Jan Barbour

Jan is an accomplished executive professional who joined our team as the office manager in May 2023. With a strong background in Hospitality Management, Human Resources, and Employment Recruitment, Jan brings a level of experience and expertise to her role.

After marrying Clay Barbour in December 2022, Jan made the decision to relocate from Mount Airy, NC to Bassett Va. Clay has been an esteemed member of Twin Oaks for quite some time, adding to the couple's connection with the community.

Jan's deep faith and gratitude are reflected in her love for gospel music. Her favorite song, "What A Day That Will Be," resonates deeply with her and expresses her strong beliefs "What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see and I look upon His face; the one who saved me by His grace. When He takes me by the hand and leads me through the promised land, What a day, glorious day that will be.”
