A Reformed church holds to the faith of the Protestant Reformation — that sinners are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone — as summarized in historic confessions like the Westminster Confession of Faith. Read what we believe →

We are a mission work of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church (ARP), a Reformed and Presbyterian denomination with roots in Scottish Presbyterianism and the Reformation.

No. Covenant Church belongs to a denomination, the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church (ARP), which has been in the United States since 1782. That means our pastor and elders are accountable to a wider body of churches, and our teaching follows a public confession of faith, the Westminster Standards, rather than one congregation's own statement.

“Presbyterian” describes how a church is governed — led by a body of elders (from the Greek presbyteros, “elder”) rather than by one person, and joined to other congregations through a regional assembly called a Presbytery. Covenant Church is Presbyterian in the Associate Reformed Presbyterian (ARP) tradition — Reformed in theology and accountable to that wider Presbytery.

Expository preaching means the minister draws the message out of the verses of Scripture themselves — verse by verse and book by book — so the sermon is shaped by the text rather than imposed on it.

Yes. We celebrate the Lord's Supper in worship; on the last Sunday of each month it is held in the evening service.

Yes — we administer the sacrament of baptism. You can read Pastor Brooks's short primer, The Sacrament of Baptism.

Yes — we sing Psalms from the Bible set to music, alongside hymns you'll likely recognize.

After most Sunday evening services, all are invited to stay and ask Pastor Brooks anything — about God, faith, the Bible, or the sermon — and he'll answer. See the schedule →

Men's Fellowship & Study, Women's Fellowship & Study, Youth Group, Prayer, ministry to the whole family, and our God & Hope conferences.

Yes — a Men's Study on the fourth Tuesday of every month and a Ladies' Study on the fourth Wednesday, each working through Scripture and the catechism over food and fellowship.

Yes — our Youth Group meets the first Thursday of every month for middle and high school students (6th grade and up), with games, food, fellowship, and the study of Scripture.

We'd love to talk with you about it — we hold a brief Church Membership info time after Morning Worship. Just reach out to Pastor Brooks and he'll help you take a first step.

You can give securely online — one-time or recurring — through our giving page, or in person during the offering at any worship service. Thank you for partnering with us.

Yes — we're a church plant, established in 2023 and putting down roots in Burbank. But our tradition runs deep: we belong to the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, a denomination that has been in the United States since 1782. Learn who we are →
