Who we are
Covenant is a member church of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC). We began as a Bible study in 1987 and were particularized as a congregation in 1990. We were formed around several commitments, to which we continue to hold fast. First, that God’s Word, the Bible, is the only rule of faith and practice, doctrine and worship. As such, the sure way to “grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” is to preach and teach the “whole counsel of God.” We believe in expository preaching through Scripture in our morning and evening services and systematic teaching through Scripture in our Sunday School classes, Bible studies for men, women, and young people. If we abide in the Word, Jesus Christ abides in us. We are warmly committed to the Westminster Confession of Faith, with its Larger and Shorter Catechisms, as the best summary of the system of truth taught in Scripture.
We also believe that the Word of God will make us loving, able and willing to serve one another. Fellowship and regular meeting together are a leading way the Lord strengthens us and draws us closer into one body. As we want the entire world to know God’s love and mercy through Jesus Christ, we also support the missionary expansion of the gospel and church of our Savior throughout the world, encourage our members to “share what God great things God has done for our soul,” and encourage our members to serve others.
We practice a weekly observance of the Lord’s Supper during the morning worship service, which we believe most closely approximates the apostolic model for the church. We have several midweek prayer meetings, a monthly men’s prayer meeting on the second Saturday of each month, and occasional days of prayer and fasting for the needs of our congregation and the broader kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Being persuaded that the church should be governed by multiple elders elected by the congregation, we endeavor to shepherd God’s flock, for which the Lord gave his blood. Our congregation’s families are divided up in a way so that each family receives oversight and encouragement to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
We invite you to come and worship the Lord with us according to his word, learn and love his word, and grow together as his body, gathered together by his Word and Spirit to glorify and enjoy him, now and forever.

Home Shepherd Groups
On the third Sunday evening of each month, our families gather in homes under the oversight of an elder for singing, Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. In this smaller setting, it is our prayer that personal relationships among our members will be strengthened, needs more readily shared, and hospitapty encouraged. Contact one of the elders for the time and location of a group meeting in your geographic area. Groups currently meet in Lawrenceville, Suwanee, and Winder.
Men's Fellowship
This group typically meets on the last Friday of each month at 7:30pm, at a variety of homes.
Ladies Bible Study
This study meets on the first Monday of each month, in Lawrenceville. We are currently studying the Lord's Upper Room Discourse, in John 13-17. The pastor leads this study. Contact him for study questions, which are prepared in conjunction with each study and typically available two weeks before the study. A primary purpose of this study is to encourage discussion and questions about the distinctives of biblical Christianity as summarized in our doctrinal standards.
Nursing Home Visitation
On the first Sunday of each month after our fellowship lunch, several of our families visit a local nursing home, at which an informal service is conducted and the residents visited.

Let no darkness overtake me
Visit, I beseech thee, O Lord, this habitation with thy mercy, and me with thy grace and salvation. Let thy holy angels pitch their tents round about and dwell here, that no illusion of the night may abuse me, the spirits of darkness may not come near to hurt me, no evil or sad accident oppress me; and let the eternal Spirit of the Father dwell in my soul and body, filling every corner of my heart with light and grace. Let no deed of darkness overtake me; and let thy blessing, most blessed God, be upon me for ever, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
