Membership & Baptism

Thank you for inquiring about membership at Covenant Church. We are intentional about carrying out the great commission and the great commandment we find in Matthew 28:18-20. We believe our mission at Covenant is to invite friends, grow disciples and send ambassadors. We believe church membership is a serious and joy-filled commitment to live into these principles of invite, grow and send.

Getting Connected

One of our goals at Covenant is to give everyone an opportunity to be connected in meaningful relationships in a community that seeks God and encourages growth in faith. We want to be a church where people of every age and stage of life have a place to belong, find direction for their lives and be nurtured in their spiritual growth.

We invite you to look through our Free Market Group catalog, which has several opportunities for you to get involved in a small group at Covenant.

If you need help getting connected in a serving area that matches your talents, skills, spiritual gifts and passion, please contact Darlynn Sakowski at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 355.0123 x4002. We look forward to helping you find that special place in Covenant where you feel you belong.
