The Mission of Community Covenant Church

Community Covenant Church is a Christ centered body, reflecting the diversity of God’s kingdom, committed to the centrality of the Holy Scriptures. We recognize the transforming love and grace of God. We believe the work of the 

Holy Spirit empowers us personally and as a body for service to each other, our community, and the world. We seek to:

  • Lead people to commit their lives to Christ
  • Encourage opportunities for spiritual growth
  • Intentionally embrace and celebrate a diverse fellowship
  • Minister to one another, the neighborhood, the denomination, and world through intentional acts of compassion, mercy and justice.

 

Our History

Community Covenant Church evolved out of the “mission Vision” of two couples in 1943. These couples rented a store-front facility at 1029 Olson Memorial highway and titled their mission, “The Lighthouse Gospel Mission”. In October, 1945 sponsored by First Covenant Church in Minneapolis and the Northwest Conference, this ministry became formalized under the new name, “The Covenant Gospel Mission.”

Due to renewal efforts along Olson Highway, the mission was forced to move. In 1955, a new church was built at the corner of Knox & Olson Highway. Now named Community Covenant Church, further renewal claimed that building also. On June 6, 1965, our present building at 901 Humboldt Avenue North was ready for worship. In March 1980, a new addition was completed and dedicated, and in August of 1992, the sanctuary was expanded and dedicated to accommodate the increasing growth of the church membership.

Community Covenant Church continues to reach out to the Near-Northside of Minneapolis, continually building on the shoulders of those who have gone before us.
