Who We Are
First of all, we are sinners saved by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, all to the glory of God alone!
Founded in 1952, Covenant Presbyterian Church became a new congregation in a new denomination when we joined the Evangelical Presbyterian Church denomination in 2010. We are a family of faith united in Christ, and we truly believe that we have been blessed to be a blessing to others both locally and internationally.
In our worship, life together, and service to the world, we seek to glorify God by grateful obedience to his word in response to his grace and mercy in Jesus Christ. As heirs of the historic Reformed tradition, we embrace and affirm our theological heritage while addressing the concerns and needs of contemporary culture. We think you’d find us to be a congregation of warm fellowship, sincere faith, and a desire to grow in love for Christ and with one another. You are always welcome!
Our Mission
Our goal is to glorify God as a congregation of Biblical faith centered upon the Gospel of Jesus Christ and built up by the Word of God written in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, which we affirm to be the supreme, final, and only infallible rule of our faith and practice.
We are Reformed in doctrine, Presbyterian in government, evangelical in practice, and missional in service; seeking to live-out the historic Christian faith in the present time, following Jesus Christ, who is “the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).
Our Beliefs
We are members of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, a denomination which was founded in 1980-81 by those who wanted to form a church that took seriously the words of Scripture, the theology of the historic confessions of faith (Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms), and the evangelical fervor of historic Presbyterians. They envisioned a denomination that was truly evangelical and truly Presbyterian; hence, the name (EPC).
As Presbyterians committed to the inerrancy and infallibility and full authority of the Bible, our doctrinal standards are contained in the Westminster Confession of Faith and Larger and Shorter Catechisms.
We also affirm a document entitled “The Essentials of Our Faith” to which Teaching Elders (Ministers) and Ruling Elders must adhere without any exceptions.
This document basically follows the outline of the Apostles’ Creed and expresses “the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3) which Bible-believing Christians of all denominations and throughout the world have universally affirmed throughout history. These doctrinal standards provide protection and direction for the life of the church which is centered on the Word of God in worship, preaching, and teaching.
Worship in spirit and in truth must be focused upon the true and living God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – as he is revealed in the Scriptures. Therefore, in corporate worship on the Lord’s Day, all attention must be focused on the sovereign majesty, holiness, righteousness, grace, and mercy of God. At the heart of this God-centered worship is the cross of Jesus Christ and his glorious resurrection from the dead. He lives and reigns over all, and his name is to be exalted over all and his gospel proclaimed to all.
The preaching of the Word, the exposition of Scripture, is to offer the whole counsel of God from the inerrant Scriptures, in the power of the Holy Spirit, pointing to Jesus Christ who is the central subject of the entire Bible (John 5:39).
In the singing of hymns, the offering of prayers, the preaching and hearing of the Word, and the dedication of our gifts and resources, our worship should seek to glorify the God who has created us and redeemed us in Jesus Christ.
The goal of our Christian Education Ministry is to lay a Biblical foundation for the living of lives faithful to Christ in every way, in every arena of life: personal, family, professional, business, and recreational. The study of the Word renews our minds so that we will be transformed into the image of Christ rather than conformed to this world (Romans 12:1-2).
