Twenty and Thirty Somethings
Contact: Ryan & Kristina Nyquist [email protected]
Faith Twenties and Thirties exists to serve the young adults of Faith Covenant Church. Whether you are a recent high school or college graduate, fixed in your career, single or married, starting your family, or someone who is in their twenties or thirties, we are here for you! We gather monthly to connect through social events, to grow in our faith journey through prayer and Bible study, and to go serve our community through various service opportunities.
This group will be studying the book Understanding the Wounded Heart by Marcus Warner. The meetings will be conducted on a weekly or biweekly (TBD) basis. Anyone who desires a further understanding of God’s healing and transformation, is welcome.

Children’s Ministry
Contact: Vicki Newendorp [email protected]
We believe our kids are beautifully made in the image of God. With that in mind, we want Faith Covenant to be a place where these little ones can experience God’s love in a real way, have a safe place to discover who God is, and grow in their relationships with Jesus. Our FaithKids Sunday mornings and Wednesday Grow Nights are designed to help our kids engage with God’s Word, connect with other kids, and get to know God in a fresh way—as well as expand their heart for the world around them. We also offer special events and programs throughout the year.
This group ministers to our church property by taking care of projects and cleaning around the building each week.They meet Thursday mornings and break for a time of fellowship and devotion as part of their routine.

Sunday Night Men’s Bible Study
Contact: Hal Palmer [email protected]
We are a group of men who meet to study God's word, pray, and fellowship. We meet twice monthly on Sunday evenings, at members’ homes, and regularly attempt to do service activities.
We gather to celebrate what God has done in our lives, to connect with God in a unique way together, and to remember that the church is not a building to be in, but a group of people to which we can belong. Come as casually or as dressed up as you would like. Faith uses a variety of worship elements like media, drama, and Christ-centered conversational preaching to help people engage. If you are interested in volunteering with our Sunday Morning Worship by either being on the tech team or in the worship band, email Ryan.
