Welcome to Country Covenant!  So glad you are checking us out.  We want you to know that you matter to us.  We are here for you.

We mainly do this by worshiping and learning together on Sundays and by serving people who are in need.

Country Covenant is a place where you are encouraged to come just as you are - with all of your doubts, fears and imperfections just like the rest of us. This is a place where you can get involved and ask your questions and then have the freedom to explore answers at your own pace without pressure or judgment. Thanks for checking out our website and learning more about who we are.  We would love for you to visit us any Sunday morning at 10:30am or let us know if we can be of any help to you at all.  You can call us at 847.464.5381 or email me at PastorBill@countrycov.org.

We hope to see you soon!

Blessings,

Pastor Bill
