The Early Days
During the summer of 1971 a group of students – then known as The Fellowship – began meeting to pray and study the Bible on the lawn of BGSU. As the group grew and became more established, they moved inside and held worship meetings at Prout Chapel. In 1976, the church adopted the name Charis Community – the Greek word for grace. In 1984, we built our current building and gave ourselves a new name: Covenant Church.
Our Story Continues
More than 50 years later, many members of that original bible study are a crucial part of our community – with children and grandchildren adding to their legacy. While our name has changed, we still hold on to the core values of fellowship and grace. Our heart is to be a place where members of the local community can come and experience the life-changing power of Jesus.
