Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church celebrates God’s grace for everyone.

We gather to worship. We equip ourselves to share faith. We send ourselves to serve.

Worship service information can be found here. Worship streams on our website, Facebook page and YouTube channel.

Watch our worship service here each Sunday. (Image below serves as a placeholder for the livestream for weekly service.)

  • Music is one of the very best ways we pray. GCPC celebrates God’s gift of music with 16 ensembles encompassing all ages. Learn more about our wonderful music programs.

  • Matthew 25:31–46 calls all of us to actively engage in the world around us, so our faith comes alive and we wake up to new possibilities. Convicted by this passage, both the 222nd and 223rd General Assemblies (2016 and 2018) exhorted the PC(USA) to act boldly and compassionately to serve people who are hungry, oppressed, imprisoned or poor.

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.

May Communion Offering Recipient — CROP Hunger Walk: CROP Hunger Walks are community-based fundraising events held in cities and towns across the United States      . They support the global mission of Church World Service, a faith-based organization transforming communities around the globe through just and sustainable responses to hunger, poverty, displacement and disaster. Hunger is one of the greatest injustices facing our world, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Ending hunger is possible in our lifetime. The Heart of America CROP Walk won't take place until this fall, but we can support the global CROP organization now. If you’d like to support the CROP Walk, use the “Communion” option in the online portal to make a donation, or write “Communion Offering” on your check or envelope and donate it during Offering before June 1.
