Who we are
The Church of the Covenant is a diverse 400-member congregation in the vibrant cultural center of University Circle in Cleveland, Ohio. We are seeking to know Jesus and make him known through meaningful worship, inspiring music, compassionate outreach, and in-depth theological study that leads us to engage our community and our world that God so loves.
Covenant is both a destination church and a neighborhood church, with students, residents, visitors, and members who walk to church as well as those who drive from the suburbs and beyond. We maintain an inspiring Gothic building in the heart of University Circle - a dynamic urban center of world-class education, health care, music, art and history.
While the scaffolding has come down after a major sanctuary renovation in 2012, we continue to evolve with our neighborhood. From this place, we are seeking to love and support our neighbors; encounter God through study, prayer, and worship; encourage questioning; and nurture all God's people. We invite you to experience God through the life of the Covenant community.

The Church of the Covenant History
The Church of the Covenant was formed by the merger of three congregations.
The Euclid Street Presbyterian Church (organized in 1853) merged with Beckwith Memorial Presbyterian Church (organized in 1885) and became the Euclid Avenue Presbyterian Church in 1906. In 1920, Second Presbyterian Church (organized in 1844) joined the Euclid Avenue Presbyterian Church and the name was changed to the Church of the Covenant.
Covenant has a long history of activism, both locally and nationally, particularly on issues of inclusion.

Open our ears.
Blessed Lord, open our ears to hear what Thou speakest and our eyes to see as Thou seest. Give us hearts to beat in sympathy with Thine at the sight of every little child; and above all, our Lord, to understand and experience how surely and how blessedly Thou fulfilest Thy promise, "Whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."
