Westover Baptist Church

What Westover Baptist Church does

Westover Baptist Church is an independent, nonprofit Baptist congregation headquartered at 1125 Patrick Henry Drive, Arlington, Virginia 22205, operating as a single-site place of worship serving a local congregation and surrounding Northern Virginia community. Its core offerings comprise Sunday worship services held at 10:00 a.m. (in-person and online), Adult Bible Study delivered both in-person and via Zoom, Children's Church programming (including an online component via Class Dojo), nursery care, and prayer ministry. The church is governed by lay leadership, including a Chair of Trustees and an Administrator, and maintains denominational affiliations with the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV), Northstar Church Network, and the Baptist World Alliance.

The church operates a wholly-owned preschool subsidiary, Westover Baptist Preschool (WBP), which has delivered play-based, half-day early childhood education for over 50 years, targeting physical, cognitive, social, emotional, language, and self-regulation development in young children. Technology infrastructure is consumer-grade: Realm.org powers online giving and member management, Zoom supports online Adult Bible Study, Facebook and YouTube provide livestream worship, Class Dojo enables online Children's Church content delivery, and a digital guestbook captures visitor information. Multiple giving modalities are supported, including one-time and recurring gifts, text-to-give, card and bank payments, and stock or mutual fund gifts.

Revenue derives from voluntary tithes and offerings with no published pricing tiers, supplemented by preschool tuition structured as a monthly subscription with the amount undisclosed. The go-to-market is community-based outreach plus organic social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, with no formal paid acquisition or sales motion. Distribution is hyper-local at the Arlington campus, with online streaming providing a global but low-engagement reach. Headcount stands at approximately 20 employees, and no public financials are disclosed, consistent with U.S. religious nonprofit reporting norms.

Operates in the same denominational space at scale, providing governance, missionary support, and shared resources across the network.

• Northstar Church Network: Network of churches that Westover Baptist Church is affiliated with for shared mission support and resources. Comparable as a peer in the church-networking ecosystem but operating at a broader multi-church scale.
