About us
Christ Covenant Church is a community of God's people in Grande Prairie, Alberta. We seek to honour God and serve others by holding fast to the Bible and working toward becoming a community of love and service. We meet for Lord's Day worship every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. at the Grande Prairie Golden Age Center (10222 - 101 Ave). Our congregation also has a brief singing or prayer & share time from 10-10:15 a.m.
Distinctives
Reformational and catholic faith
Christ Covenant is a Bible-believing community that eagerly embraces the historic Christian faith as articulated in the early creeds and the Reformational confessions.
Time-tested Liturgy
We understand the Church to be "catholic" - meaning, universal. It is not up to us to reinvent it or seek after all sorts of novelties to keep worship "interesting." Rather, we at Christ Covenant believe that the service of worship passed down through the ages, with its rich biblical content and life-shaping ritual, is inherently relevant for mind, body and soul.
Whole Family Participation
We include our children as full members of Christ's body, not so much by developing segregated programs which stress the differences between them and older members, but by including them in the things that make the church the church. Our children participate with the rest of the congregation in all aspects of worship, including the Lord's Supper.

Vision
When human beings fell away from God into sin and rebellion, everything was affected - all human life was spoiled, and the whole of human life was spoiled. Every human being was now incapable of living in a properly human way - in the way that God the Creator intended for His creatures.
Jesus Christ is Lord of all and comes to bring healing "as far as the curse is found." Therefore, we don't want to simply be closeted off as people who worship God in secret. Our goal is to live, in every area of life, in the healing Christ has brought to us and promised us, and to share that healing with others, through our words and our deeds.
Affiliation
Christ Covenant stands in the Reformed tradition and is a member church in the Confederation of Reformed Evangelicals (CREC).
