Founded in the late 1950s to early 1960s, it has since had a major influence on the local black community and others. It has become one of the largest churches in the Hampton Roads area.[2] HistoryThe Bethany Baptist Church was founded on October 8, 1959, by a group of members of Chesapeake's First Baptist Church South Hill in the home of the late Mrs. Minnie Madrey[3] at 410 Berkley Avenue with 100 chartered members in Berkley.[4] The group wanted to advance the spiritual life in the Berkley community. In November 1959, the congregation began to seek a church edifice for parishioners to worship. The former Chestnut Street Methodist Episcopal Church, South now located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, was purchased located at 523 Chestnut Street in the Berkley community.[4] In the early 1980s, the interstate I-464 was being constructed, passing through the portion of Berkley where the church was located. As a result, in 1982 the Virginia Highway Department VDOT acquired the building.[4] The church held services in the Teamsters Union Local #822 on 822 Bartee St. in Norfolk, Virginia off Military Highway near Military Circle Mall. In 1985, the church began to erect a church at its present location at 2587 Campostella Rd. in Chesapeake, Virginia. The church's first service in this building commenced on Sunday, March 2, 1986. In 1996, the church built a new edifice to accommodate the increasing membership with an addition built in 2008. PastorsRev. E. C. Walton (1959–1962) AttendanceIn 1959, the church began with 100 members. In the 1990s, church membership began to increase. Currently, estimates a membership of 2000–2500 parishioners.[4][6] EventsIn 2013, the church hosted the Citywide Martin Luther King Jr. celebration, part of the City of Chesapeake’s 50th anniversary observance.[7] Community workShowers of Blessings MinistryIn 1988, the Late Rev. Jake Manley, Sr. founded the Showers of Blessings, a spiritual and life-skills ministry with two women of the church. Over the years, it has served thousands, many of them drug addicts ordered by the courts into the program whose lives were transformed by the ministry.[8] HIV-AIDS ministryBethany’s HIV-AIDS ministry created one of the first AIDS/HIV support and counseling ministries among the Black churches in the Hampton Roads region under the leadership of Rev. Jake Manley.[9] Bethany HouseAs a noted provider of clothing, food and shelter, Bethany Baptist acquired property (called the Bethany House) to house those in need of temporary housing upon release from the penal system.[10] References1. ^{{cite web|last=Colvin|first=Leonard|title=Candidates Look Hopefully To Winning Next Week|url=http://www.thenewjournalandguide.com/community/item/823-candidates-look-hopefully-to-winning-next-week|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130630102030/http://www.thenewjournalandguide.com/community/item/823-candidates-look-hopefully-to-winning-next-week|dead-url=yes|archive-date=30 June 2013|work=New Journal and Guide|accessdate=29 May 2013|date=25 April 2012}} {{coord missing|Virginia}}2. ^{{cite web|last=Sheler|first=Jeff|title=South Norfolk pastor helped those without hope|url=http://hamptonroads.com/2013/05/south-norfolk-pastor-helped-those-without-hope|work=The Virginian-Pilot|accessdate=29 May 2013|date=21 May 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|last=WATSON BATTS|first=DENISE|title=MINNIE GREGG MADREY - 1912-2001 MOURNERS HAIL NORFOLK MODEL CITIZEN.|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-73943993.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140611021931/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-73943993.html|dead-url=yes|archive-date=11 June 2014|work=The Virginian-Pilot|accessdate=29 May 2013|date=3 May 2001}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|title=Rev.
