We’re glad you’re considering worship with us at Covenant Presbyterian Church. You are welcome to visit, whether you are exploring the Christian faith, returning after time away, or simply curious about what worship is like at Covenant.
Below is what you can expect on a typical Sunday morning.
9:30 AM Worship Service
Our worship begins at 9:30 AM, preceded by a musical prelude starting around 9:25 AM. A typical service lasts about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
We don’t use screens in the sanctuary. Bulletins are available from a greeter at the entrance and on a table near the center‑aisle entrance. We don't use any screens in the sanctuary, but the bulletin provides everything you need to follow along and participate throughout the service. Hymnals and Bibles are available in the pews for use during worship.
Rooted in the Reformed tradition, our worship seeks to glorify God according to His Word. Each Sunday, we begin with a Call to Worship, typically from the Psalms, sing scripture-rich hymns from the Trinity Hymnal, hear God's Word, and pray.
Each week, we include a time of confession of sin: first, a brief moment for silent prayer, followed by a corporate prayer acknowledging that we all sin and stand in equal need of grace. We then hear an assurance of God’s forgiveness in Christ—a beautiful reminder of the gospel and our equal footing at the cross.
We also confess our faith using the Apostles’ or Nicene Creed (historic summaries of Christian belief) and pray the Lord’s Prayer (the prayer Jesus taught His disciples), joining Christians across the centuries in the faith we share.
Sermons, typically 20–25 minutes, guide us verse by verse through books of the Bible. You can listen to past sermons here.
The Lord's Supper and Baptism
We celebrate the Lord’s Supper every Sunday as a sacred meal of faith, uniting us to Christ and to one another. Those who are baptized believers and have made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ are invited to partake. If you are not yet sure what you believe, you are warmly welcome to observe and learn more.
Gluten‑free bread is available, and we offer both wine and grape juice. Learn more about The Lord's Supper here.
At Covenant, we joyfully baptize believers and their children as a sign of God's covenant grace. Read more about baptism here.
Children in Worship
Children of all ages are welcome to join us for the full worship service.
Just outside the sanctuary, our Children’s Worship table offers Children’s Bibles, catechism books, sermon note pages, and supplies to help children engage meaningfully in worship.
Our nursery (ages 0–2) is located on the first floor in Rooms 163 and 173 near the Fellowship Hall, with drop‑off beginning at 9:15 AM. Parking in the back lot provides easy access to this area.
Children’s Church (through Kindergarten) is offered as an option and begins midway through the service, prior to the sermon. Children are dismissed from the sanctuary and escorted to Room 128 on the first floor for a Bible story, light snack, and craft. Parents may pick them up there following worship.
All children’s ministry volunteers are background‑checked and trained through Ministry Safe.
Sunday School (Discipleship Classes)
Following worship, we invite you to stay for Sunday School, our discipleship classes for all ages. This is one of the primary ways people grow in faith at Covenant and get to know one another.
Sunday School typically meets from 10:45 AM to 11:45 AM. Children meet downstairs, youth gather in the Youth House, and adults choose from several Bible‑based classes located in Rooms 201, 203, 204, and the Parlor.
