ABOUT US
Greetings! We’re glad you found us. Covenant Reformed Church is a mission church in the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC). We are located in Dothan, Alabama and are under oversight of our planting church Providence Church (CREC) in Pensacola, FL. We are a Reformed and covenantal congregation that recognizes the Body of Christ extends beyond our local church. We exist because the Triune God- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit- wants our little corner of Alabama to know his love. We have the job of making that love visible by living, working, and worshiping together in Dothan Alabama. ​​​
OUR MISSION
Our mission at CRC is summed up by the phrase “all of Christ for all of life.” Under the grace of God, this means that our desire is to make Dothan a Christian town through faithful and robust covenant renewal worship on the Lord’s Day, through proclamation of the gospel to unbelievers, while training additional evangelists who will continue proclaiming that gospel, through teaching men and women how to live together in harmonious Christian marriage, through establishing a family-friendly culture of Christian education in which well-loved and well-disciplined children will learn to stay the course, through outreach that brings people to church, accommodating them where they are while seeking to bring them into maturity in a structured way, through genuine cultural engagement that provides Christian leadership in the arts, in business, in education, in politics, and in literature, and through a regular series of church plants on the Wiregrass as we have gifted, trained and ordained men, willing congregants, adequate resources, and available facilities. And we seek to do all of this in gladness and simplicity of heart, as we pursue love for God and love for our neighbor.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
​​
-
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
​​
-
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
​​
-
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
​​
-
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
​​
-
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
​​
-
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
​​
-
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.​
REFORMED
Covenant Reformed Church stands in the historical stream of the Protestant Reformation, committed to always be reforming according to the Word of God. The word “Reformed” is a shorthand way of affirming the sovereignty of God in all things, and that we rely on Scripture to be the only sufficient guide in matters of faith and life.
EVANGELICAL
By “evangelical” we mean that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only message of hope for a fallen world, and that there is no other name by which people can be rescued from the ruin and despair brought about by sin. It is the work of the church to proclaim the gospel to those inside and outside of the church, calling all people everywhere to trust in Christ alone for salvation, and to obey all that he has commanded.
CONFESSIONAL
Covenant Reformed Church is a confessional church, meaning that we subscribe to a historic, Reformed confession of faith that serves as a summary statement of our beliefs. CRC subscribes to the Westminster Confession of Faith 1646 and the Heidelberg Catechism.
