Covenant United Methodist

These guys leave a bunch if anti gay flyers in the ground In my neighborhood where I walk my dog. Yes I’m gay. No I’m not going to your sermon on the evils of homosexuality! Idiots

My husband and I spent a lot of time trying to find a church home here in Austin, and I’m so grateful we found Covenant!
We’ve been attending regularly since January 2012, and since then, they’ve started a 20s/​30s Sunday school class that has allowed us to make many new friends. I noticed the previous reviewer said there wasn’t a young professionals group when she attended, but thankfully this has changed.
I would definitely recommend checking out Covenant if you get a chance!

Alright, so I visited this church on Sunday for the first time. May I preface this with I’m 30 years old, single, and visited on the 4^th of July (where it probably wasn’t a typical Sunday for them).
The church was INCREDIBLY friendly. A wonderful Stephen Minister, Barbara, found me early-​on and introduced me to numerous members and and the two pastors of the church. She took me to her Sunday School class, and sat next to me in Church. She informed me of some of the basics of the church, explained some of the history behind the décor in the church, and much more.
The church is very large — in size and congregation. There are two ministers — Val and Rosie — who are both very vibrant people.
Why this church may not be for me: The congregation is primarily made up of 50+ and young families. There really is not a young professionals population. And, since connecting with others in my same life-​stage is important to me, I probably won’t end up here permanently.
If, however, you are a parent to grade-​school aged kids, or 50+ married/​divorced and looking to meet similar people, this might be the place for you. It might also be for you if you’re interested in local ministries, global ministries, children’s ministries, a great choir (or so I hear, they were off for the summer), or a church with plenty of opportunities to get involved and meet others.
I do plan to go back for blessing of the pets, this Wednesday at 6:30 P.M.
