About Covenant Community Church

Covenant Community Church of Vacaville is an Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Northern California with roughly 120 members. We strive to celebrate God, connect with others and change the world. Our worship is contemporary, our style is informal, and we are passionate about learning from God’s word and growing as his disciples. We are intentionally intergenerational and family-oriented in our approach to life together - those in our next generation serve alongside our adults in ministries across the church. 

We are highly committed to serving those in our community and the world. We have a significant partnership with our local public elementary school, and we serve our neighborhood through events such as VBS and Trunk or Treat. We also partner with a ministry in Honduras, and volunteer in various local and regional ministries as well.  

Vacaville is a great place to live - recently it was rated in the top 50 “most livable small cities” in the country. Our city is growing, and our church campus is in a part of Vacaville where several new neighborhoods are being constructed. We are convinced God has planted us in this area to use us to draw people to himself.
