Covenant Church is a church of prayer, worship, and love for our city,
while rejoicing and resting in God — to His glory.
The Name “Covenant”
Living and working in and around Los Angeles is filled with uncertainty.
This is a real problem. People come and go. And we never know who we can
and should invest into with our time and friendships. Work and money come
and go. For many of us, we never know when or if we'll be hired again.
This high cost of living adds to stress and uncertainty.
But the God who made the world and everything in it (including you!) has
made covenant promises. We can have certainty and lasting
confidence in these, like His promise of love for His people in the Lord
Jesus. From God, a covenant promise is a promise that cannot be broken.
God's people can have confidence then in His unchanging love and can know
with certainty that Jesus is always for them and is their closest friend,
no matter their circumstance.
The name “Covenant” provides opportunity to tell and to speak
much and often of the unchanging, covenantal love of God.
Community
There's a special moment in the gospel narratives when the Lord Jesus
turns to His disciples. He tells them that He loves them. And He calls
them His friends (John 15).
Think now for a moment. When was the last time someone in Burbank or Los
Angeles told you that they loved you and considered you a dear friend? It
has probably been some time, am I right? It's hard to make true friends
here.
But Covenant Church changes this. Forming deep friendships with people
happens naturally when you share a close mutual friend already. Those in
Covenant Church who are following Jesus, thereby growing closer to Him,
are automatically developing relationships and friendships with fellow
believers in the church as all move in one direction towards the Lord
Jesus in faith.
Christian Fellowship & Community at Covenant Church
Here's What We Hope Covenant Will Be
A church that loves God, Scripture, and neighbors
Covenant will seek to glorify and enjoy God by diligent study of His Word
and by regular, consistent practice of the means of grace. Covenant will
seek to demonstrate love and care for all of its neighbors.
(Psalm 119:15–16; Matthew 22:37–40)
A church that practices community
Covenant will practice intentional community in worship,
prayer, and fellowship that there might be
unity among believers and love and care for one another. This is so God
may be glorified and that some of those who are yet of the world may see
and long to believe.
(John 17:23; Acts 2:42–47)
A church that loves Burbank, L.A. County, and beyond
Covenant will enjoy praying for, living in, and building up Burbank, and
also L.A. County and beyond. Covenant will seek to serve, and to thrive in
the opportunities that our cities provide for family, work, creativity,
and city life by faith in the Lord Jesus and through the gospel.
(John 8:12; John 17:13–21)
Covenant Church is excited to demonstrate love to the community, being
known as people who care for those in need, especially those in foster
care and those who have experienced loss. Covenant Church seeks to support
schools and students, families, and helping to provide opportunities for
success. We look after our neighbor in need.
A church that seeks to partner and encourage
To God's glory, there is gospel ministry happening in Burbank already
from other churches and denominations. Covenant will seek to work in
partnership with existing ministries by prayer, service, and
encouragement, that all might be built up and edified through the Holy
Spirit with joy. (Philippians 2:1–16)
