Our full name, Covenant Community Orthodox Presbyterian Church, speaks directly to our identity and convictions.
Covenant reminds us that God initiates relationships with sinners. He has come with the Gospel, the good news that sinners can be reconciled to a holy God through the saving work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We delight in God’s covenant mercies to us, and so we call all men everywhere to “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” (Acts 2:38-39)
Community reminds us that God not only draws sinners close to Himself in His covenant but that He is forming a body of believers who are in fellowship with one another. As a church, we are a band of fellow pilgrims, redeemed from sin to be God’s people, traveling toward the new heavens and the new earth.
As a church, it is our mission to call those from every nation, tribe, and tongue to submit to Christ and join the fellowship of His church.
Orthodox means straight, or true. Since the Bible is the Word of the living God, who created all mankind, we are obliged to live under its authority and according to its rule. We seek to be orthodox by teaching and living in submission to the truth of Scripture.
Presbyterian describes our church government. We believe that Christ has ordained that each local church be cared for and ruled by two or more elders elected from among the people. The elders (in New Testament Greek called presbyters) each hold an equal share in the rule of the local church. The elders of the local church also participate in meetings of the regional church (the presbytery) and the national church (the General Assembly). The pastor serves as one of the elders of the local church.
