A Word of Welcome

You Belong Here

Whether you've walked with faith your whole life or you're stepping through our doors for the very first time, there is a place for you at First Covenant.

“This is a church of open doors and open hearts. Come sit with us, and let's seek God together.”

Our congregation has gathered under these same steeples since 1924 — through good seasons and hard ones. What has held is simple: a love for Scripture, a love for one another, and a conviction that everyone matters to God. We would be honored to have you join us.

Rev. Jonathan Ellery

Senior Minister · Serving since 2009
