In December, 2008 the temporary session of the Culpeper Mission Church called Rev. Joe Holland to be the church planter to Culpeper. Joe, a native of Virginia, grew up in Virginia Beach and attended the University of Virginia where he met his wife, Hallie. Hallie and Joe have been married since 2000 and have 4 sons—Joseph, William, David, and Charlie. Joe attended Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte, NC before going to Mississippi, where he served as the Minister to Students and Families at First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, and as Associate Pastor at First Presbyterian Church, Kosciusko. After six years of ministry in Mississippi, Joe and Hallie moved to Culpeper in 2009 to join a team that was already working to establish a church plant. By God's grace, Christ Covenant was launched on Easter Sunday, 2010.
