Worship Life at Covenant Presbyterian Church starts with worship on Sunday morning at 8:30 and 11:00 am. Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month.

The 8:30 am Worship Service is a blended style of worship with contemporary, jazz and traditional music with the Praise Band playing on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month.

The 11:00 Worship Service is a traditional worship style with the Chancel Choir. Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month.

The Contemporary Service of Worship with a praise band and informal worship style is at 5:30 pm on the second Sunday of each month.

On the 4th Sunday of each month, we have a meditative service with Communion called the Taizé Service of healing and wholeness at 7:00 PM.

Our aim is to provide a worship time and style to fit everyone.
