Family Ministry
Our heart is to HELP parents teach their children to LOVE and LIVE the Gospel. God designed parents to be the primary faith trainer for their children. The church should come alongside parents and help them accomplish the mission of discipling their children. Everything we do in our family ministry is geared towards helping parents be the primary faith trainer in the home.
Covenant Kids
We accomplish our mission of helping parents teach their children to love and live the gospel through our Sunday gathering, our weekly catechisms, parent resources and our annual Family Summit.
Sunday Gathering
Our Sunday Gathering provides classes for children ages birth through 5th grade, and each room is led by a dedicated volunteer who has been through a background check and orientation process.
Leaving your children in our care is a huge responsibility that we take very seriously.
Here are a few of our policies that help ensure your child’s safety and security, which is our highest priority:
- Our Check-In System (Parent and child each receive a sticker with a unique, matching number printed on them, and your matching sticker is required to pick up your child. Check-in starts at 10 each Sunday morning.)
- All volunteers go through a criminal background check
- No male volunteers will change a child’s diaper
- No male volunteers will take children to the restroom
If you have any questions about our policies and procedures, please email jason@thecovenantchurch.com.
2nd – 5th Grader: we teach a simple curriculum based on the New City Catechism (hyperlinkwww.newcitycatechism.com), and the main goal is to give children a biblical foundation and knowledge of who God is, and how much he loves them.
In your Sunday morning packet, you’ll find Family Devotion Guide that corresponds with the weekly lesson and catechism, and is designed to help you continue the lessons at home. We encourage parents to continue discussing and teaching the lessons at home!

Covenant Students
Our goal for our students is to equip them to believe and understand the gospel, defend the faith and to live missional lives. We accomplish this through our weekly meeting every Sunday morning at 9:30, and our monthly fellowship events.
Our hope is to be a second voice to what parents are already teaching in their homes; to provide resources, support, and additional spiritual leadership for our families. We are excited about the programs and events we provide as a family ministry, but we firmly believe that the most important thing that a baby, a toddler, a child, and a teenager need to flourish spiritually is parents who are committed to leading them spiritually.
Family Summit
Our annual Family Summit is designed to provide teaching and resources on topics such as discipline, how to talk with your children about salvation and baptism, how to have a fruitful family devotion, and many more topics.
