What to Expect at Covenant Presbyterian Church:
Our dress code runs the range from coat and slacks to blue jeans. Other than encouraging modesty in dress, we hope you wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable.
Our children remain with us during worship and the preaching of the Word. We believe that God has included our children as members of the new covenant community of Christ and they should be included in our worship service. The position of both Christ and the Psalmist was that children were capable of praising God. (Matt 21:16 and Psalm 8:2). We want our children to learn from an early age what it means to worship God corporately and what better way for them to learn than to be a part of the service.
For more on why Covenant stresses the importance of including our children in the worship service, here is an article by one of our elders titled, "A Brief Explanation of Why We Don't Do Children's Church".
We do understand that at times it may be necessary for a parent to step out of the service to attend to their child in feeding, changing, etc. We have a nursery room for this purpose and visitors are welcome to utilize it.
