We are a church committed to presbyterian practice, doctrinal
purity, faithful worship, and the expansion of Christ’s Kingdom to
all areas of society and home.
Our roots are deep, resting on
the historic creeds and confessions that have saved the church from
error for centuries. Our vision is grand, looking for the
consummation of the age when every nation will be a disciple of
Christ. Our practice is real, promoting brotherly love and biblical
discipleship that builds friendships that span
generations.
History
The Church is to be a pure and
victorious Bride, one that is so powerful that even the Gates of
Hell cannot prevail against Her. Yet, even though we have this
promise, She has been a Church beset with problems, heresies, and
infighting. During its most critical times, God has used His people
to reestablish doctrinal purity. The Reformation was such a time
when men of courage stood against the apostasy of their day to see
the full authority of God’s Word once more proclaimed. One of the
great outcomes of this epoch was the formation of our creed, the
Westminster Standards of 1647.
But the Church later continued to
be plagued by the traditions and greed of men, leading to further
fragmentation. Historic doctrines were forgotten and emotionalism
became the rule rather than reason. Church growth methods focused
on persuasion rather than the proclamation of Christ and Him
crucified. The mantra of many churches became, "Come as you are"
with the unwritten expectation, "Stay as you are."
It is in such
a place that God chose to reveal Himself in the hearts of men and
fathers. Our founding churches formed as God opened the truth of
the Scriptures to elders who up to that point had been held in sway
by modernity and compromise. God showed this group of men that
victorious Christian living can come when the Bible is embraced in
its fullness. This includes a trust in the historic faith,
presbyterian polity, a commitment to the Biblical Creation model,
biblical gender roles, and family-integrated worship.
These men
were led to start the Covenant Presbyterian Church, a continuing,
historic and confessing Church, with the prayer that their unique
distinctives might usher in a new reformation in church, home, and
society.
Committed to strengthening and equipping families
rather than fragmenting and burdening them, Covenant Presbyterian
Church prays that God will use this new work for His
glory.
