First Baptist Church Covington — Attraction in Covington

Services start obnoxiously loud, with their prayer band or whatever they call it, singing loud syrupy songs. Usually the sermons aren't backed by any research, just the preacher spouting off twisted opinions and "facts" that he may have seen in a headline ('The southern Baptist is the most persecuted in the nation,' 'suicide rates are rising, but it's because drug use and maybe some lonliness, they all needed god in their lives, that would've saved them.'Every service and sermon begins and ends, with much in between, with begging for money. "Scan this QR code," "look at the booklet in front of you," "check your flyer you were handed as you came in." It's like watching a St. Jude or ASPCA commercial without the tugged heartstrings of sick kids, animals, or Sara McLaughlin singing over it all. Sure people claim you need to donate the "god tax" of 10%, but to nag for it every 5 minutes?

On mother's Day, you know - the day to honor mothers - the preacher's wife started the service with some fribble about how women were meant to be subservient partners to men, meant to be wives, created to be mothers above all else, so shouldn't need to work outside the home as they needed to raise godly children. It was disgusting. Women are supposed to build each other up and give each other strength and support. Not try to take away hard won freedoms, rights, and make them chattel again.

They also strongly push children's baptism and attendance, to the extent of calling and harassing the parents. They don't even check if any of the children have attended their Sunday schools or VBS programs so maybe are already learning about the bible from their versions as...

I've been attending First Baptist Church in Covington for some time now, and overall, I've had a pleasant experience. I usually go on Saturdays, and it's nice that there aren't too many people around, making it a more intimate setting. One thing that stands out to me is the pastor. He's really good at delivering his sermons, and I appreciate the topics he chooses to talk about and how he presents them. There's no unnecessary "woke" shenanigans or anything like that. It's just a straightforward and genuine approach to spreading the message of faith. The church itself has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the community is friendly. The services are well-organized, and the worship music is uplifting. In terms of facilities, the church is well-maintained and provides a comfortable environment for worship. The seating is adequate, and the audio and visual equipment ensure that everyone can participate in the service. Overall, my experience at First Baptist Church Covington has been positive. It's a nice church with a focus on faith and community, and the pastor's engaging sermons make it worth attending. If you're looking for a church without any unnecessary distractions, I would recommend...

I am disappointed with this church. I began asking about 2-3 months ago while watching the Sunday service to schedule a time to meet with the private pastor, Waylon. I was contacted by a minister, Glynn Robinson and met with him at the church. After that, I emailed Glynn several more times and no response. I have left a message on the church phone and also requested live to meet with Waylon and also requested prayer. No response about meeting with Waylon but received a response from both a male, Kevin Schill and female, Brandi??about how they could Pray for me and received no further response. Trouble signing on last week. I was wondering with so much talent in the church why it's not rotated as opposed to the same guy with his guitar over and over and over. Today I didn't ask to meet with anyone nor any questions. My intent at this time is to quietly attend and look for another...
