First Evangelical Covenant Church

Following Matthew 25:40, "... whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for me," seventeen junior high students lived out a three-day serving experience at River Bluff Nursing Home, Kids Around the World (Feed My Starving Children), The Carpenter's Place and our own PARK ministry. The experience was modeled after the high school missions trip last summer in Chicago through CSM (Center for Student Missions), a nationwide ministry with sites in major cities.

Over 5,000 teenagers from across the country gathered at the University of Tennessee campus in Knoxville July 12-17 to celebrate the Covenant's triennial Youth Conference, CHIC. Our church was well represented by 17 students and 4 adults. The week was an inspiring time of daytime sessions focusing on a variety of topics. Evening worship shared passionate praise music and challenging speakers.
