About this house
The Twelve Church,
R.O.A.R. Cogea International
A church on Crosslink Road in Raleigh, North Carolina, founded and pastored by Dr. Eddie L. Bass III. We are a house of prayer, praise and the preached Word — and a family that means it.
Our leadership
Shepherds, not figureheads.
Dr. Eddie L. Bass III
Pastor & Founder
Presiding Bishop & Chief Apostle of R.O.A.R. Cogea
Dr. Bass founded The Twelve Church and shepherds it still. He serves as Presiding Bishop and Chief Apostle of R.O.A.R. Cogea International, and he carries a pastor’s heart for the people of Raleigh — for the seeker in the back row and for the family who has carried grief a long way. His preaching anchors Scripture in everyday life and calls people to be healed, made whole, and sent.
Lady Prophetess Renaulda D. Bass
Lady of The Twelve Church
Prophetess, R.O.A.R. Cogea International
Lady Bass stands with her husband in the work of this house. She is a woman of prayer and a prophetess in the ministry of R.O.A.R. Cogea, and she has a particular care for the women and families of the church. On a Sunday morning you will find her among the people, often the first to reach a hand to someone who walked in alone.

What we believe
The faith we hold.
We are a Bible-believing, Spirit-filled church. These convictions are not a slogan on a wall — they are what you will hear preached, what we pray toward, and how we try to live once we leave the building.
- 01
The Word of God
We believe the Bible is God’s Word — our sure foundation for faith, for conduct, and for the hope we preach.
- 02
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus is the Son of God, crucified for our sins and risen in power, and that no one comes to the Father except through Him.
- 03
Grace and New Life
We believe no one is too far gone. Salvation is a gift of grace received by faith, and it makes a person genuinely new.
- 04
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Spirit of God still fills, gifts, heals and guides His people today — not as history, but as present power.
- 05
A Life of Prayer
We believe prayer moves heaven. It is the work of the church, not the last resort of the desperate.
- 06
One Family, Sent Out
We believe the church is a family without fences — called to love Raleigh in ways that are practical, visible and costly.
Our name
The righteous are bold as a lion.
Proverbs 28:1 gives us the picture behind our name. R.O.A.R. is the sound of a people who have stopped apologizing for their faith — a church that prays like heaven is listening, and lives like the city is watching. It is the spirit behind our monthly prayer night, Lions Mouth.
