Pastor Jim Whitfield and Sister Patsy Whitfield

Pastor Jim Whitfield is a 1978 graduate of RHEMA Bible Training Center and is ordained by Kenneth Hagin Ministries. Pastor Jim has pastored in the denominational setting as well as pioneering works in Kansas and North Carolina. Called by God to teach His people faith, Pastor Jim brings the Biblical office of Teacher to this area. He and his wife, Patsy, have four children and reside in the Raleigh area.

Eagles’ Nest Christian Fellowship began as a home Bible study in 1988. On July 4, 1989, God directed Pastor Jim to “rise up and build a supernatural church.” In February of 1990 plans were made to station in Raleigh.
In December of 1990, Eagles’ Nest Christian Fellowship was established in a small storefront office on Highway 64. In July of 1991, a time of phenomenal growth began, and in August of 1991, Eagles’ Nest was packing approximately 200 people into their place of worship.

We began holding Sunday services in the Crabtree Sheraton Hotel, and by January 1992, we were holding services at our first free-standing facility, located on Leesville Road in Raleigh.
In May of 1994, we moved to another facility located in a storefront across the street on Leesville Road, where we knew God was not done yet. 

God’s plans still far exceed our own. We are now located on our 28 acres of land located at the corner of Fellowship Dr. and Alexander Dr. in Raleigh NC, near the Brier Creek area. Here, we indulge in the presence of God with a heart of worship. He’s done so much, what else can we do but endeavor to impact the Raleigh-Durham area one person at a time?
