Covenant Church - San Diego (CA)

5 /5 Erin Stonecipher: We found Covenant when we moved to San Diego and are so glad to be part of this church family. The teaching, worship, and community is Christ-centered and biblical. The children’s ministry program offers a safe and caring environment for kids to grow in their faith and have fun with friends. If you’re looking for a church where you can be plugged in to community and be encouraged to walk daily with God, Covenant Church is it!

5 /5 Lisa Wise: This church instantly feels like home. Patrick is a great pastor, the community is very welcoming and proactive. Wonderful music ministry! They have a one week summer music camp for kids!

5 /5 Kyree Russell: Covenant church was immediately welcoming to me when I moved to San Diego. If you’re looking for not just a place to worship but a place where a family of believers truly tends and takes care of their current members but keeps the future members in mind, this is the community/church for you. On top of that adhere to sound biblical exegesis teaching both on Sunday and in the various small groups lead by members. There’s plenty of ways to get involved and be a part of this community whether you’re a long time believer, new to faith or not sure what you believe. Covenant will always be a special place to me in my faith journey of following Christ.

5 /5 Charles Fite: From the first day we came at the invitation of our neighbors, we knew that Covenant Church was where we needed to be. When we moved to San Diego in 2017, our first church was a megachurch with great preaching and a professional level praise band. We felt very comfortable there, listening to the teaching of God’s word and enjoying wonderful worship music. It was so easy to be invisible there and not be noticed. No one knew our names and we were fine with that. But the Scripture is crystal clear that it is crucial for us to become intimate parts of the Body of Christ; loving, nurturing, encouraging and praying for one another. We need each other, and without being a real part of the fellowship, our Christian growth is stymied. So, with that conviction, we visited Covenant Church with our friends. We quickly found that in a smaller body, folks know when new people show up. And a beautiful thing about Covenant is that they make every effort to greet you and show genuine interest in you and in learning your story, which for us that was so welcoming. But Covenant goes well beyond just friendliness. As part of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Covenant is very solid in its theology and the foundational authority of Scripture—a non-negotiable for us. We really appreciated the added formality of the liturgy which was missing from our former church. We have found the preaching to be excellent—relevant to everyday life, always challenging us to take the next needed step toward Jesus. We joined one of their many Community Groups—small gatherings of believers desiring to learn together through Bible study and shared fellowship—and have found it to be a life enriching vehicle toward becoming a part of a first-century-like family of believers who can trust and rely upon one another. We find the music to be very worshipful, with a careful, thoughtful blending of contemporary Christian favorites and classic hymns of the past, which we find unites us in our worship with Christians past and present. The church leadership is made up of dedicated men and women, mature in the Faith, and humbly accountable to God. Our body is very missional in its priorities, desiring to make Christ known in our community and our world. Covenant is a great church!

5 /5 Lindsay Montgomery: I have been attending Covenant for nearly 2 years and absolutely love this church. The congregation is warm and loving and the preaching is so insightful and rooted in the Bible. My husband and I intended to “shop around” for a church when we first moved to San Diego but Covenant was the first one we attended and we never left. I find the church’s size to be perfect- serviced feel full and vibrant but the church is not so large that you get “lost” in the crowd. Covenant has a great offering of small groups, bible studies, community/service projects, and other ways to get connected. The church is also about to undergo a large renovation, so it’s an exciting time to join the church! Most inportantly, Covenant really embodies and lives out Jesus’s love.
