  • We are committed to teaching the whole counsel of scripture.
  • We are committed to taking the gospel, personally and corporately, to our neighbors. 

STRENGTHENING BELIEVERS (Ephesians 4:11 – 13; Colossians 1:10 – 12)

SERVING PEOPLE (Mark 10:45 ; Galatians 5:13 – 14)

Our Core Values

  • We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God's truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.
  • We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
  • We believe that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God's displeasure, except by His mercy.
  • We believe that salvation is by God alone, as He sovereignly chooses those He will save. We believe His choice is based on His grace, not on any human individual merit, or forseen faith.
  • We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who trust in Him, alone, for salvation.
  • We believe that God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to His Covenant promises.
  • We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God's people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.
  • We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people unto Himself.
  • We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

OUR WORSHIP

At Covenant Presbyterian we believe that, as people growing into Christ-likeness, we must intentionally engage in worship.  Our worship is Christ-centered and is considered traditional.  We use both piano and organ and on occasion, additional musical instruments.  We have an excellent choir that adds to the worship experience.  Cantatas at Christmas and Easter enhance these occasions.  We observe communion monthly.  Our hope is that our worship is a way of actively praising God for who He is and remembering what He has done and is doing.

Covenant Presbyterian Church began in 1979. In 1985 a small sanctuary was built which now serves as the Covenant Life Center.  In 2002 we held the first worship service in our new 12,500 square foot sanctuary which seats 450 people.  All facilities are debt free.  Our current average attendance is 70-130 (seasonal).
