ADULT MINISTRIES
We grow in faith and connect in relationship in a variety of ways at First Covenant! This Fall join our Acts Bible Study on Wednesday nights, gather with us on Sunday mornings during our Spiritual Growth Hour or connect at the All Church Retreat at Covenant Pines or in a Connection Group. There's something for everyone!

We have something for every age and stage at First Covenant on Sunday mornings. We hope by worshiping with us you'll catch a glimpse of the Kingdom, and be encouraged to find your place in it. Each Sunday has familiar components, but no week is the same. Be sure that you've joined our mailing list to stay up to date with what is going on!
Here is what adults can expect on Sundays:
9:30am - 10:30am | Worship
All ages gather in the sanctuary for in-person and live-streamed worship. You will see youth and adults leading in worship by reading scripture, singing on worship teams, or participating in special musical groups. Every week our visuals are run by a rotating team of youth volunteers, while adult volunteers run our sound board and direct our livestream. There is an opportunity for preK-2nd graders to leave during the sermon for their own age-appropriate learning, they return in time for the closing song or communion (depending on the week).
Some seasons we follow the lectionary, some seasons we build worship around a different theme. Each week you'll experience a variety of worship styles and experiences from the organ and choir to a worship team. There is a little something for everyone, all designed to help us more and more order our lives around the priorities of Jesus. Come as you are, you are welcome in this space as your full self. Questions are welcomed here, we look for opportunities to explore the answers together. For more about what each Sunday worship experience might look like, check out our About Us page here.
10:30am - 11:00am | Fellowship Time
There are often treats, coffee, and water provided in our Upper Fellowship Hall following worship. This is a great opportunity to refuel while connecting with others. Our supplies are compostable, keeping with our commitment to creation care and sustainability. If you would like to help serve during Fellowship Time
11:00am - 12:00pm | Spiritual Growth Hour (September - April)
Adults gather for Spiritual Growth opportunities. Depending on the season there may be a short-term book or topical study in the Conference Room. Small groups might meet in separate locations in the church. The Upper Fellowship Hall space is our main gathering area for adults to grow in faith and relationships. These are no-prep, come and learn opportunities each Sunday during the program year. We'll announce the specifics from week to week, know that you are invited to join. There are age-appropriate opportunities for children and youth going on at the same time throughout the building.
5:30 - 6:15pm | Free Dinner for Everyone
Our partners provide a delicious and free meal for the whole community -- and you're invited! Come over and join us for dinner, you won't even have to do the dishes! Dinner is served from 5:30 - 6:00pm, feel free to linger until 6:15pm when our evening programming gets underway.
6:15 - 7:30pm | Evening Programming
There is something for everyone. We have opportunities for children and youth. During this time the Sanctuary Choir rehearses in the Choir Room and other adults gather for a Bible study. This fall we are studying the book of Acts using N.T. Wright's Bible Study: Acts For Everyone.
From seasonal retreats to our beloved Covenant Pines Bible Camp or wilderness retreat center Adventurous Christians to ongoing opportunities for small groups to form and connect together there are many other ways for adults to grow in faith and relationships with one another.
