Come as you are...

Jesus welcomed people.  Wherever they had been in the past, whomever they had become in the present, and with whatever doubts and questions they carried for the future, people felt at home with him.  We hope you will find that same spirit of openness here.

We seek to be a community of individuals growing in our relationship with each other and with God.  Whether you are just beginning your spiritual journey, or have been at it for a long time, we welcome you.

 

The unique character of the Covenant is expressed in the design of the Covenant logotype - people united in Christ, people serving people in God's name, and people bringing people to Christ.

The basis of the design is symbolic of four people facing north, south, east, and west. Note that each one's arms are outstretched, indicating the church's outreach in mission and service to the world. The four are part of the whole, yet their hands do not touch, symbolizing their unity in the freedom and evangelical warmth that characterizes the Covenant.

The geometric arrangement of the four figures results in a cross-like pattern, representative of the center of our faith.

The center circle symbolizes the unity and bond of fellowship which we call "the Covenant."
