For over 40 years, Covenant Reformed Church (URCNA) in Carbondale has been a beacon of Reformed faith in a community that is predominantly Roman Catholic. To continue serving its congregation and the broader Carbondale community, the church is embarking on a significant renovation of its historic building, constructed in the early 1900s, as well as the transformation of the neighboring property into a ministry center.
Church Building Renovation
Installing ramps and upgrading bathrooms to make the building accessible for handicapped individuals.
Power washing the exterior and assessing the steeple for necessary repairs.
Refreshing the interior with new paint to create a more welcoming environment.
Covenant House Ministry Center
Covenant Reformed Church recently acquired the house next to the church, which will be transformed into "Covenant House," a ministry center designed to meet the needs of both the congregation and the community. Planned uses for the center include:
A nursery for infants and classrooms for Sunday school.
A clothes closet for those in need and a food pantry for emergency situations.
Rooms for Bible studies and recovery groups.
Housing for missionaries, visiting pastors, and other kingdom servants.
Additional parking for Sunday services and Wednesday night activities.
