Covenant Church

Welcome to Covenant Church in Reading, PA

Nestled in the heart of Reading, PA, Covenant Church is your neighborhood Presbyterian church and Christian community dedicated to worship, teaching, and authentic relationships. As a welcoming congregation of about 125 weekly attendees, we blend rich Reformed traditions with a warm, family atmosphere. Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or seeking a new church home, Covenant Church offers a space where sound doctrine meets heartfelt fellowship, and every person is known by name.

A Meaningful Worship Experience

At Covenant Church, worship isn’t an obligation—it’s an opportunity to encounter God through songs, prayer, and practical teaching. Our services are thoughtfully designed to be spiritually enriching and accessible, drawing on Scripture to illuminate everyday life. Attendees often say they leave feeling uplifted and equipped (“Practical teaching and meaningful worship,” “Sound doctrine, great place to worship”). From classic hymns to contemporary praise, our worship experience harmonizes reverence with relevance, inviting you into a genuine encounter with the living God.

Bible-Based Teaching & Sound Doctrine

Central to our identity is a commitment to clear, Bible-based teaching. Each sermon reflects careful study of God’s Word, blending theological depth with everyday application. Our pastors and teachers guide us through the Scriptures with clarity and conviction: “We are a church that worships God through reading and studying the Word, music, teaching, and relationships.” Whether unpacking a challenging passage or exploring timeless biblical truths, you’ll find teaching that is both faithful to the text and deeply relevant for work, family, and personal growth.

A Close-Knit, Family Atmosphere

One of the joys of Covenant Church is our intimate size. Unlike large, impersonal megachurches, our gathering of around 125 congregants fosters genuine connections and heartfelt care. Newcomers frequently share how they immediately feel embraced (“If you are looking for a church that makes you feel like family … then this is the place for you!!”). Our shared meals, prayer partners, and small-group conversations create an environment where you’re more than a face in the crowd—you become part of a spiritual family walking together through life’s ups and downs.

Building Lifelong Relationships Through Fellowship

True community happens beyond Sunday mornings. At Covenant Church, you’ll find people who celebrate your victories and support you through challenges. From coffee chats after worship to neighborhood dinners, we intentionally weave relational threads that strengthen our bonds. “The fellowship needed to walk this road together” isn’t just a slogan—it’s our lived reality. Whether you’re joining a midweek gathering or sharing a meal with new friends, you’ll discover that relationships here are marked by authenticity, compassion, and a shared commitment to follow Christ.

Engaging Programs for All Ages

Our ministry extends well beyond our Sunday services. Covenant Church offers a diverse calendar of programs designed to foster growth, support, and spiritual formation for every stage of life:

• Sunday School & Children’s Ministry: Engaging lessons that introduce kids to God’s love and the Bible in a fun, age-appropriate way.
• Bible Study Groups: Midweek gatherings where adults dive deeper into Scripture, discuss real-life applications, and pray for one another.
• Support Groups: Safe, confidential spaces where individuals can share struggles, receive encouragement, and find practical resources.
• Youth & Young Adult Events: Activities, retreats, and service projects that challenge the next generation to live out their faith boldly.
  By providing these varied opportunities, we ensure that everyone—from preschoolers to seniors—has a place to learn, grow, and connect.
