What We Believe
What is a Covenant Church?
We belong to a larger network of Churches. As a whole, we belong to the Evangelical Covenant Church, and as a region, the Northwest Conference. The Evangelical Covenant Church denomination places an emphasis on the authority of the Scriptures and the necessity of a personal walk with Christ.

What does it mean to be a member of Fridley Covenant Church?
Membership in the Covenant Church is by confession of personal faith in Jesus Christ and is open to all believers. We welcome all seekers into our church body, and pray that you seek truth and find an intimate relationship with Jesus, our Savior. We observe baptism and Holy Communion as sacraments commanded by Jesus. Anyone is welcome to attend Fridley Covenant Church without becoming a member.
What does a Baptism mean to us?
Baptism at Moore Lake
We recognize and perform both infant and believer baptisms. In the case of infant baptism, the parents are introducing the child into the family of God and declaring that they will bring up the child in the Christian faith, but the child is not saved through baptism. In the case of believer baptism, we do not believe that the individuals involved are receiving salvation through baptism, but instead are proclaiming that they have already received it.
How we view our worship together?
We view our worship as a means of celebrating our God together. Music is a key part of the worship experience, and our music is led by a live band each week with the church attendees invited to sing along. In a typical worship service at Fridley Covenant Church, there is prayer, music, and a brief bible-inspired message delivered by the lead pastor, the associate pastor, or a guest speaker.
Worship is a way for us to connect to God and to one another, to share our joys, sorrows, praises, and requests.
“For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” Matthew 18:20
What do we believe about Communion?
In communion, we believe that Jesus is present as we partake of the elements. We do not believe these are the actual body and blood of Christ, but are rather a symbol of his sacrifice for us.
