And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Adult Sunday School
During the Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters we have two adult Sunday School courses. During June and July summer we explore various topics or have other creative options; and during August we have all-family Sunday School focusing on the missions work of Christ’s Church.
In each quarter one of the courses focuses on practical theology, and one on Bible study or more academic theology. In the Winter quarter our practical theology class is related to child-rearing.

Membership Classes
At least twice a year we have weekend membership classes, focusing on the basics of the historic Christian for those who desire to pursue membership at Covenant Church, inquire about that, or simply want a refresher course.

Leadership and Officer Training Classes
At least once a year we have an officer training/leadership class, focusing on the doctrinal standards of Covenant Church for potential leaders or church officers. Format varies.

Small Groups:
Position and Prepare God's People for Outreach
Build Community.
Develop Leadership.
Discern Each Person's Gifts & Place in God's Plan.
Enable Communication.

A word about small groups:
There's a bumper sticker these days which says, Think globally; act locally; it really expresses what a small group is all about. A small group lets you grasp the big picture (global), and it lets you apply that in your life (local).

Some food for thought:
What does knowing Jesus mean to you?
In your relation to other people?
What will God do in and through you for others?
What will he do through others for and in you?
Think Globally = the whole body;
Act Locally = a small group to be involved with.
We hope you consider one soon!

Small Groups are:
Relationships and friendships are key to Life Groups.
Groups of 8-12 people that offer Bible study, encouragement, and hope for all.
Participants share or just listen and learn how to trust Christ in their daily lives.
Life Groups are usually open to visitors and meet at homes throughout the area.
