Congregational Life
Congregational life is the shared experience of worship, fellowship, and spiritual growth within a church community, where members gather to encourage one another in faith and build meaningful relationships.
Whether you're new to Covenant or have been part of our church family for years, there is a place for you to build meaningful relationships, discover opportunities to serve, and experience the joy of doing life together.

Groups for Fellowship, Service and Learning

Pastors Masters Golf Event
Each year, the Pastors Masters Golf Tournament brings Presbyterian churches from across Charlotte together for a day of friendly competition, laughter, and fellowship. Held each year on the Monday after Easter, this growing tradition reminds us that meaningful relationships are often built just as much on the golf course as they are in the sanctuary.
Civil Rights Pilgrimage
Together with our partners at St. Paul Presbyterian Church, Covenant journeyed through the American South, visiting significant Civil Rights landmarks while learning from our shared history and one another. More than a trip, the pilgrimage became the foundation for lasting friendships and an ongoing partnership as our congregations continue exploring new ways to build beloved community together.
