• Elders

    Our Board of Elders is called the Session. These are the spiritual leaders of the church and responsible for life and ministry at Covenant. We have nine elders who are each elected by the congregation for three-year terms and are ordained and installed by the laying on of hands. Elders at Covenant serve on one of four commissions. Elders are listed below according to their commissions and responsibilities.

  • Deacons

    Covenant's Board of Deacons are the hands and feet of Jesus dedicated to service. Covenant elects and ordains twelve people by the laying on of hands for three-year terms. The deacons provide service and caring.


    • A Ministry of Caring (financial support, cards, meals, visitation)


    • Tasks of Service (Communion, baptism and Sanctuary preparation, funerals, receptions) 


    It is common to find ministry groups  caring for people as opposed to having deacons themselves meet every need. Deacons seek to match a congregational need with someone in the congregation who has the appropriate gift and talent to meet the need.


    Covenant deacons for 2023 are:
