About Covenant Baptist Church

If you are searching for answers in your life or if you are looking for a new church home, come find Friends, Family and Faith here. Our members come from all walks of life, including those who have experienced divorce, ones who are recovering alcoholics, and some who didn’t feel they fit in at other churches.

And don’t worry if you didn’t grow up attending a Baptist church. A number of our
members come from various denominations, yet all feel comfortable and right at home here and, they are eager to help you feel the same way. In addition to finding Family and Friends here at Covenant, you’ll also find real Faith that will help you discover your place and your purpose in this world. That’s what worship at
Covenant is all about. We want you to find God’s will for your life.

We invite you to come worship with us, and find Friends, Family, and Faith here at
Covenant Baptist Bellevue.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life.

“Believing IN Jesus to save you is more than just Believing THAT Jesus can save you. I can believe THAT a bullet proof vest can save my life. But I haven’t believed IN that bullet proof vest, until I put it on and rely on it to save my life. The same is true for Jesus. I can believe THAT Jesus can save me, but I haven’t believed IN Jesus to save me, until I give my life to Him and rely on His teachings.”
