Blood Drive Participants
A big “Thank you!” to all those who helped Covenant and our community by participating in the Lifeblood Mobile Blood drive on Nov. 4. All these people deserve recognition for helping supply the always short supply of blood in our community. When you or a loved one next need blood, these are some of the people who have taken the minimal time and effort to see that you will have it.
If you have never given, you don’t have wait till our next drive, there are about a dozen community donation centers throughout the area that are open for your convenience. Remember, blood may not be available unless you donate it!
Ask any of the following about their experience in donating. I'm sure they will be happy to explain the procedure and answer any questions or concerns you might have.

Our Church
Covenant Baptist Church began her ministry in 1997 with the first service on October 26th in the Forest Hill Malco Cinema. By January 4, 1998, the new congregation had leased the “church” part of the Madonna Learning Center, 7007 Poplar Ave., Germantown, TN. This building, formerly the Germantown Church of Christ, provided chapel and Sunday School space. A house on that property was also leased for office and additional Sunday School space. Charter membership was 124 members.
In October, 1998, an invitation to consider a merger was extended to Parkway Village Baptist Church. They had sold their property to Greater Middle Baptist Church and had begun a search for property. On January 17, 1999, both congregations voted separately to accept the articles of merger and over 80 members were added to the fellowship.
On October 8, 2000, property was purchased on Houston Levee Road, north of Poplar Ave and south of Frank Road, in Collierville, TN. A facility containing a worship center, classrooms, kitchen, fellowship hall/gymnasium, and church offices has been designed for this 38+ acre site. With a current membership of around 500 (as of October 1, 2007), Covenant is prayerfully and excitedly looking forward to its ministry in this rapidly growing area!
Covenant is a traditional, conservative Southern Baptist church. Our Pastor, Dr. Sam Brassell, desires to utilize a shared ministry style of leadership, working through the Deacon Fellowship, committee structure and the organizations of the church.
Worship here can be defined as musically-blended and Bible-based with primary goals of glorifying God in all His majesty and presenting Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. Please visit us and enjoy our Christian fellowship and support as we learn more of God’s plans for us individually and as a church!

Decisions for Full-Time Christian Service

Will Story
Christopher Poyner
Will is just about hidden by all the well-wishers after his decision to surrender his life to full-time ministry. Please remember all these young people, as they will be tested and tried by Satan in many ways as they follow Christ’s will for their lives. These young people are the future of Christianity in this world.
