Dennis W. Wiley and Christine Y. Willey resonate with the rich history of the city. As co-pastors of Covenant Baptist United Church of Christ until 2017, the couple left an indelible mark on the religious landscape, earning them the title of “pillars of the LGBT religious community.”
The Covenant Baptist Church, under the guidance of Dennis and Christine, emerged as a sanctuary where love knew no boundaries. Their commitment to embracing diversity within the LGBT community was evident not only in words but in transformative actions that paved the way for a more inclusive religious experience in the heart of the nation’s capital.
