Pastor William Jeffery Bass was born 49 years ago in Troy, Alabama. He is married to his wife Pastor Demetria Bass, they have one son Christopher James Bass, and they reside in Woodbridge, Virginia.

Pastor Jeff graduated high school with honors and received a B.S. degree in Broadcast Journalism from Troy State University. He is furthering his education by pursuing his Masters degree in Theology. Additionally, Pastor Jeff loves to read, enjoys writing poetry, and he is an avid sports fan. His favorite teams are the Raiders, Braves, and of course the Troy Trojans.

On August 17, 1987, he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior and almost 20 years later, he continues to seek the Lord and thirst for the Word of God. Pastor Jeff served in many areas of ministry from usher, greeter, teacher, youth ministry, men’s ministry and many other ministries before answering God’s call on his life to step out in faith and start a church in the greater Washington DC metropolitan area.

Pastor Jeff is the charismatic Senior Pastor and founder of Praise Covenant Christian Center Church and Praise Covenant Ministries International in Springfield, VA. He is a man of God who has a vision to raise up a generation (priesthood) of warriors who will evoke the presence of God through victorious praise. His favorite passage in the Bible is Second Chronicles chapter 20 because it illuminates the fact that through prayer, petition, and praise, God will prepare, protect, and provide for his people.

Through Pastor Jeff’s down to earth, sometimes humorous, but always relevant and scripturally applicable life-changing messages, people are encouraged, exhorted, and energized to serve the Lord. The greatest testimony of Pastor Jeff is that he truly loves the Lord and it is all about Jesus.
