Our Mission
Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church celebrates God’s unbounded grace and all-inclusive love. God gathers us in a welcoming community, with our curiosity and questions, to worship creatively, learn from God’s word, share our gifts, and deepen our faith. With grateful hearts and a spirit of adventure, we go to serve Christ in the world, sharing kindness with everyone, and working for justice rooted in God’s love.
At Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church we are committed to sharing God's all-inclusive love and standing with those who are victims of injustice. We invite you to join us in the work that needs to be done to join the call to remember the victims of racial violence and affirm our commitment to work together to dismantle structural racism. We are a Matthew 25 congregation. Learn more here.

‘Reconciling to what?’ That was one of the first questions I had from a member of the newly formed Repair and Reconciliation Alliance of the Pittsburgh Presbytery. Rev. Jeff Eddings, chair of this alliance reflects on the origins and goals of repair for historic harms and reconciliation in the context of Pittsburgh Presbytery.
"The alliance had been formed with the mandate to do two things:
(1) to engage in a thorough review of the experience of our Black Presbyterian churches through history.
(2) to offer recommendations on actions of repair and reconciliation.
The hopeful outcome of this work is that “the Pittsburgh Presbytery may become a more harmonious, joyful, and just community within the Body of Christ," says Eddings.

With imagination and creative ministries, healing is happening for our LGBTQIA+ siblings," writes Rev Bethany Peerbolte, leader of the digital ministry, Our Tapestry (a 1001 New Worshiping Community supported by the Denver Presbytery).
