About Us
Vision
Led by the Holy Spirit, Federated Covenant Church will become a spiritually healthy congregation of committed believers who are regularly bringing lost and hurting people to an active faith in Jesus Christ and blessing our community and world through mission.
Ministry Teams
- Community of Christ: the gathering of God’s people for visitation and caregiving, social activities, and spiritual formation
- Sharing Christ: sharing the Gospel’s good news in word and deed
- Worship Planning: identifying, developing, and employing our congregation’s gifts for the worship of God
Ministries
- Weekly, public worship of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
- Small group Bible studies are held during the week.
- We send our kids and others to summer Bible camp, knowing that this ministry changes lives.
- We support The Salvation Army, who has an office in our building, to which people in the community come for help with utilities, housing, and any number of concerns.
- We also collect food donations for a local food pantry and recently raised money for seeds for farmers in Haiti through Covenant World Relief.
- We believe in working cooperatively with other churches in town and are a member congregation of A.C.T.I.O.N (Area Churches Together In One Network). We partner with other churches for Vacation Bible School, the Dowagiac Family Reachout (a free outdoor summer carnival), and Jubilee (a monthly worship service for the physically and mentally handicapped).
- In 2011 we also hosted the Southwestern Michigan College Brass Band for a special Christmas concert.
Affiliation
We are members of the Evangelical Covenant Church, a rapidly growing denomination which is:
- Evangelical, but not exclusive
- Biblical, but not doctrinaire
- Traditional, but not rigid
- Congregational, but not independent
