    ReGeneration Teens ReGeneration Teens is formally known as Teens for Christ (TFC). ​ Our world is changing like never before. With the internet and other forms of media and communication, almost anyone can be in contact with the rest of the world in only a matter of seconds. Now as never before, we need to prepare our youth to know what they believe and why they believe it. It's with this mission in mind that we at Twin Oaks approach our youth ministry. In an environment that is both friendly and fun, we help our youth establish a biblical foundation that will last them a lifetime. ​ Wednesday Night Youth Service This is the major training time for our teens. We engage in areas of Biblical Studies, Discipleship, Theology, Ethics, and Apologetics. We want our teens to be ready to face a very difficult world. There is also music, games, and food almost every week. This is a time our teens look forward to each week. ​ September through November & January through May Wednesday 6:00 - 8:00 PM Summer Bible Study We have a great time in our summer Bible Study. Your teens are bored during the day when they are out of school. We come together most weeks during the summer and study God's word. We also hang out, eat, and grow together. ​ June thru August Check Calendar for Dates and Times Youth Outreach and Missions We do a variety of outings and events in RGT.

  • 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 Mission Statement Our Beliefs What to Expect Where do my kids go? 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 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.”
