Who we are
When new members join a Covenant church, they are asked two questions about belief: “Do you confess Jesus Christ as your Savior and promise to follow him as Lord?” and “Do you accept the Holy Scriptures, the Old and New Testaments, as the Word of God and the only perfect rule for faith, doctrine, and conduct?” They are then asked if they intend to live as faithful followers of Christ and members of the church and denomination.
That’s all. That’s enough.
But on another level, of course, the answers are a good deal more complex. While the Covenant Church does not require adherence to any written creed, we take our theology very seriously, and our history as well. We are a Reformation church, a part of the Church universal, and an evangelical church. In that heritage, we share certain central beliefs which draw us together in faith and fellowship and make possible a freedom among us on more widely ranging issues.
We describe those central beliefs as “affirmations.” We hope that as you read these affirmations you will find yourself identifying with them in your own faith experience. If they raise questions for you or you would like to read further, we would encourage you to ask your pastor (if you are already in contact with a Covenant church) or any Covenant pastor for more suggestions.

Hope Covenant Church History
It all started in the summer of 1980, five families with Covenant backgrounds began meeting in each other’s homes for Sunday evening Bible study; they felt the Lord calling them to begin public worship services as a Covenant church. The group formed a new church plant, with support from the leadership of the Evangelical Covenant Church. Our original vision included a passion to plant churches around the Indianapolis area. Hope was the first of those planted.
Public worship services began on in 1981. Office space was rented at the Indiana Interchurch Center during the time that Hope Covenant worshipped at Brebeuf High School until the construction of the Hope church building in 1988.
Through the 1990s and into the early 2000s, our focus was to reach those outside of the existing church. This was a time of significant growth in our history, as we were able to bring on on additional part-time paid staff in office and ministry roles.

Abide in my heart
Come, Lord Jesus, and abide in my heart. How grateful I am to realize that the answer to my prayer does not depend on me at all. As I quietly abide in You and let Your life flow into me, what freedom it is to know that the Father does not see my threadbare patience or insufficient trust, rather only Your patience, Lord, and Your confidence that the Father has everything in hand. In Your faith I thank You right now for a more glorious answer to my prayer than I can imagine. Amen.
