Family & Youth Ministries at Covenant  

Children and Youth matter at Covenant. 

At Covenant, we are here to support you, our most valued partners, and to serve you in various ways. Our greatest desire is for your children to know the Bible, to strengthen their daily walk with Jesus, and to know that God loves them no matter what. Our dedicated staff and teachers provide safe and secure environments and welcome your child into learning about God’s love. We teach and encourage our children and youth to share the Love of Christ for others, by focusing on kindness, love, and respect.


We encourage children and youth to participate in mission activities, through service, prayer, and their weekly offerings, and pray that you will support these efforts. Linking arms together with you, our parent partners, we can raise the next generation to walk in the footsteps of Jesus.

Youth at Covenant

The CPC Youth Ministries serve youth ages 4th grade through High School.   We seek to “Teach Christ” by building relationships and opening up God’s word.  Our goal is to integrate students into the life of the church, helping them realize their passions and talents. 


The Youth Group meets regularly throughout the school year for faith development and fun.


Covenant also sponsors many children/youth events throughout the year, including VBS, Summer Day Camps, and emphasizing summer church camp.   

Sundays in Childrens Ministry

Each Sunday at the 10:30am service, your child will be engaged in lively and interesting activities designed to help them develop their understanding of and relationship to God.

  • Opportunity to Give: Our children’s special offerings go to support our current designated missions.
  • Opportunity to Pray: Our Kids' Church focuses on "Watching for God" throughout the week in order to thank God for our many blessings. The children also offer their own prayer requests each week and end prayer time with "The Lord's Prayer".
  • Opportunity to be in the Word and hear the Good News of Jesus Christ: All lessons are Biblically based and there is memory verse focus with each of our Kids' Church units. 
  • Opportunity to be in Fellowship with other children and our adult volunteers through discussion, games,  making crafts, and a dynamic music time. 

Kids' Church

During the 10:30am worship the entire congregation participates in an inter-generational time of Family Engagement. Following this special time, children preschool - middle school go to Sunday School.


Covenant offers a special Family Comfort Room (located in our church nursery) for families to utilize any time during either of our worship services. This space provides the following:

 

*Sanitizing Area

*Nursing Room

*Changing Tables

*Rocking Chairs

*Toddler Restrooms

*Quiet Reading Area

Safety and Security
