To all who are spiritually weary and seek rest; to all who mourn and long for comfort; to all who struggle and desire victory; to all who sin and need a Savior; to all who are strangers and want fellowship; to all who hunger and thirst after righteousness; and to whoever will come — this church opens wide her doors and offers her welcome in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The church facility was rebuilt in 1992 following a major fire. Throughout the decades of challenge and change, God’s faithfulness has stood as a testimony to His grace and love.

The Covenant Christian school was closed in 1997.
