Welcome
We are delighted that you found us. We envision this site as a “front porch,” where you can come and find out about us in a very comfortable manner, and learn more about many facets of our life together. Feel free to browse through and see if there is a meaningful way for you to connect… to connect with the Divine Source of our life, to connect with other folks who are passionate and engaged, and to connect with the world around us!
Here at Covenant United Methodist Church we believe in the image of God in all persons. We strive to practice “Open Hearts, Open Minds, and Open Doors” with regards to all. We believe in the full-personhood and full inclusion of historically marginalized people groups, including but not limited to People of Color, the LGBTQIA+ community, women, the disabled, those living in poverty, and other groups. We acknowledge and lament that the Church has not always embodied the ways of Jesus and has often participated in and supported systems of oppression. We strive to shed ourselves of these idols and live in solidarity and support of the oppressed. When we say, “All are welcome!” we mean, “All means all.”
For our community, we will not “hide our light under a bushel basket.” This is who we are and what we are all about. You are invited to come and explore our community of faith in whatever way is meaningful for you.
We pray that you might find our community of faith a place of newfound relevance for your spiritual searching – a place where you don’t necessarily go to find the “right” answers, but a place to explore your questions and your faith. We strive to be a diverse place, that requires us to engage with one another grounded in the love of God.
Message Series: “Practicing Our Beliefs” – Aug 23rd – Oct 25th
For ten weeks, we will be diving into what it means to think and live “theologically.” Now, before you run away from this $10 million word, let’s consider why this matters.

Education
Our church is convinced that the Christian faith addresses all aspects of our lives – including spiritual, physical, social, and political. Our educational topics reflect this holistic approach. These programs are offered as Community Classroom events or in our Sunday adult education classes after worship each week.
Health & Wellness
Nurturing both mind and body is one of our core missions. Our beautiful building is a place for activities like Yoga, Tai Chi, Pickle Ball, and more. Events like our Seasonal Feasts celebrate nutritional health using gifts from our own community garden.
Creation Care
We take seriously our role in sustainability and forward-thinking creation care ideas, whether it comes from our beautiful community gardens, or educational programs and research about environmental issues.
Compassion & Justice
As Christians, we are called to do Acts of Compassion and Acts of Justice. Compassion is showing kindness to another person. Justice is an action that creates a change that makes things fairer in our community or world.
Featured Programs and Activities
CANCELLATION NOTICE: Due to the current Spokane Complex Fires, poor air quality, and unfavorable weekend weather forecast, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Eden Kids Garden Club (EKGC) out of an abundance of caution.
Because the majority of our planned activities involved outdoor play and crafts, we cannot safely host the event with AQI levels higher than 100. This decision was not made lightly, and I was truly looking forward to meeting your children.
Refunds will be sent in the next week or so as things calm down in the office. We appreciate your patience, and we pray this finds you all safe.
When: August 10 – 14, 2026
Time: 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Sister Church Scholarships 2027
On September 27th, the Sister Church Ministry Team will kick off its annual Scholarship Drive to support the children of our sister church community in El Paisnal, El Salvador. Covenant UMC and Buenas Nuevas Lutheran church have been sister churches for 37 years and have developed deep relationships through our delegation visits and emails.
In the late 1990’s, we saw that education was the best way to improve the lives of our sisters and brothers; that is how the scholarship program began. For most of these families, the cost of required school uniforms, shoes, school supplies, and fees to attend public school are beyond their reach. A scholarship of $140 provides all these supplies for a year of schooling for a child in our sister church community.
Donations can be made via our church online giving system designating Sister Church Scholarship, or by check. Make checks out to Covenant UMC, with “Sister Church Scholarship” on the memo line.
Eden Community Gardens is a partner program with Covenant. Have you seen the raised beds and beautiful fountain north of our building? Learn more about its mission here.
