Covenant Church is a mission of the Mississippi Valley Presbytery in Burbank, California (Los Angeles County).  In the summer of 2021, a small group began meeting for a series of six Bible study meetings on Jesus in John’s gospel.  Then in April 2022, we began meeting for a weekly Sunday evening study on Acts at our home.

We were very glad to launch weekly public worship on Sunday, April 23 at both 10 AM and 6 PM. It was a wonderful group. The gospel was preached from Ephesians 1:1-2 in the morning and from Jonah 1:1-17 in the evening.

We had 27 people in the morning, and 8 in the evening. 28 unique people overall. Tacos were served after the morning service.

We are very glad to have the ARP Psalter, from which we sang Psalm 30. And thanks to a grant from Midway PCA in Georgia, we have the Trinity Hymnal as well.
