Barb Johnson, Office Administrator "Covenant Community Church, this is Barb!" Yep - that's my voice you will hear when you call the church office! It's so hard to believe that it has been almost twelve years since I began my ministry here at Covenant. You have probably noticed that I used the term 'ministry' rather than 'job', and that's because Covenant is so much more to me than just a 'job', it truly is a 'ministry'. This church, and this wonderful body of believers, have always encouraged me - encouraged all of us - to be 'Christ' to everyone we meet. Covenant embraces not only those who walk through these doors - but those who are a part of its neighborhood, its surrounding community. This church is about relationships, friendships, it's about people who really care for, and about, you. This church truly tries to live out its name - Covenant Community Chruch. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful gift - and that gift is 'Covenant.'
