Covenant Community Church We are an open and progressive community seeking to participate in God's Shalom. We aspire to be a community of radical welcome and inclusion.

Covenant Community Church is a progressive Christian congregation established about twenty years ago based on elements of Gordon Crosby’s Church of the Saviour. We invite individuals to come as they are, showing up with authenticity, bringing their questions, quirks, and gifts. While we are a Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) congregation, our community includes folks who have varied relationships with institutional church. Our community emphasizes belonging over believing. We value community and how we treat each other as the most authentic way to live into our Christian faith.

Today, we're worshiping "house church" style at our pastor's house at 5 PM. Email [email protected] if you're interested in joining. In times like now, it feels right to just "be" together. To wrestle with our faith questions, to pray for each other, to affirm that we're loved and enough, to remind each other of the kind of love we trust in--this is what matters most.

Join us in worship today at 5:00 PM in the Bardstown Road Presbyterian Church sanctuary. We're continuing with our celebration in scripture series and tapping into our internal resources of strength and celebration. You, with all of your smile lines and wrinkles, tears and dreams are welcome here.

Are you yearning for a judgement-free space to wrestle with your spirituality, that's open and affirming, that collaboratively creates a worship service based on the wrestling?

We do this every other week at our Worship Planning meetings. We begin by checking-in on how are spirits are doing that day, we have conversation around scripture and what questions/thoughts/feelings it brings up, and then we roughly plan a worship service for an upcoming Sunday evening that weaves in our big faith questions. We're not looking for exact answers, but just trying to live authentically and faithful to how the Spirit's moving us. Email our pastor, Abbi Heimach-Snipes at [email protected] if you're interested in joining us!

Today begins our Celebration in Scripture worship series!

We may have once learned that suffering servitude is the way of faithfulness. Yet, is continual suffering really the way of God’s liberating world? Even as we work for transformation, we must still celebrate the good, the beauty, the evidence of God’s unconditional love and hope. So for July and August, we’ll be learning from celebratory stories in scripture. Come learn and celebrate with us! Worship today at 5:00 PM in the Bardstown Road Presbyterian Church sanctuary.

We are filled with gratitude and awe after all the notes and gifts of encouragement, prayers, and acknowledgement of our pain and courage that many of you sent. Thank you for seeing us. Thank you for honoring us. Thank you for connecting with our fervent hope that we can together co-create a liberating world. We'll see you at our next worship on July 7th, 5:00 PM at Bardstown Road Presbyterian. If you want to connect with us before then, reach out to our pastor, Rev. Abbi Heimach-Snipes at [email protected].

Join us for worship this Sunday, 5 PM in the sanctuary of Bardstown Road Presbyterian Church. We'll be reflecting on the courage of the midwives Shiphrah and Puah in Exodus 1 and moral beauty awe. No matter if you regularly go to church, are resistant to religion, or just have an inkling of curiosity--you are welcome.

We are a brave worshiping community doing our best to work for a better world. We worship creatively rooted in our Christian faith, we speak our truth and work to dismantle oppression, we try to cultivate a community where you can come as you are—with all your smile lines and tears, quirks and gifts, dreams and hopes. We value belonging together more than believing certain things. We're on a journey searching for the Divine together--come try us out!

Happy PRIDE Louisville! God is proud of you, God is within you, God is q***r too!!

A poem inspired by Christine Valters Painter and Selima Hill:

Please can I have a church
That welcomes in all of me
The bags under my eyes
the wounds on my heart
My past and holy hopes

Please can I have a church
That wiggles with my children
Keeps my babies safe
And fights for their existence

Please can I have a church
That affirms my identities
From how I feel at home in my body
to the ways my body changes

Please can I have a church
That takes risks for God’s radical kin-dom
And learns from failures and missteps
And listens and learns again and again

Please can I have a church
Where belonging matters more than believing
Where we gather not because we’ve always done it this way
But because God’s grace grounds
And life is too hard to journey it alone

Please can I have a church
That brings me closer to God’s mystery
That holds all of my questions
And rarely gives definitive answers

Please can I have a church
Where I can learn and love
Play and cry
Dance and laugh
Shout and march
And know deep in my bones
That no matter what the politicians and popstars say on any given day
God calls us beloved.

Join us for worship tonight at 5 PM at Bardstown Road Presbyterian Church, where we're trying to be this kind of church.

Following worship at Bardstown Road Presbyterian at 5:00 PM this Sunday, we'll have a congregational meeting that Dr. Dru Kemp (a mental health professional and clergy abuse specialist) and Rev. Abbi Heimach-Snipes will facilitate. We have two goals for this meeting:

1) Share information. Abbi will share about how the presbytery meeting went, what's been happening since the report has come out, and answer any questions you have.

2) Space to process the presbytery report. This will be our first time gathering as a congregation since the report has been made public. You'll have space to share any feelings, questions, laments, etc.

If you haven't been around in a while, if you consider yourself no longer a member of CCC but would like the space to be with us and process this report, know that you are welcome to join us. It is normal to have many many feelings around this extremely difficult news. You are not alone in having many feelings. We don't want anyone to feel alone or in any space of shame and blame too. This past abuse is not your fault.

This meeting will NOT be a space to
-dispute the content of the AC report

This will be a space to
-care for each other
-ask questions and ensure understanding of what's going on
-share resources of support

We are eager to heal and move forward in our ministry as a church. Transparency, care and honesty will help us find closure and move forward. We give thanks to God who helps us dream and work for a liberating world.
