Welcome to Christ Covenant
Whether you are thinking about visiting Christ Covenant or have already come and are interested in finding out more, we welcome you and hope you are warmly greeted with the love of Christ.
We realize that new situations can be difficult and overwhelming in a large church such as ours, but our desire is to help you find the joy of community and worship that we have found here.
We want you to know that we are available for you — to answer questions, to help you connect to others, to be your "road in" as you learn more about Christ Covenant and seek to find if God is leading you here to be a part of this community of believers.
Our Purpose
Christ Covenant Church is a reformed congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America committed to making disciples who worship God, grow in community, love others, and serve the world.

Worship
Each Sunday, we offer two worship services. Our morning worship begins at 10:45 AM and our evening worship begins at 6:00 PM. The services follow different sermon series. You can view upcoming sermon titles and scriptures on our Worship Services page. All of pastors’ sermons are online! Visit our Sermons page for video and audio files of our past sermons.
Communion
Our church participates in the Lord’s Communion the first Sunday of every month. To take communion, we must be baptized believers in Christ, a member in good standing of an evangelical church, be doing all we can to live in peace with other believers and we should be free from scandalous sin.

Small groups are a vital part of this ministry. Their new youth space is located on the lower level of the Community Life Center, and is used for Sunday Bible School as well as weekly gatherings. Please see the Youth Ministry page for details on weekly and special events. For more information, contact Jan Adams, youth ministry administrator.

Special Needs
Christ Covenant offers two ministries for families with special needs. The overarching program is called His Abilities, and serves families with special needs, including cognitive and physical disabilities. In addition, there is a Sunday Bible school class (Kings Kids) for teens and young people beyond that age with special learning needs or disabilities. This class provides the opportunity for caring volunteers to demonstrate the love of Jesus to individuals with special learning needs.
