For those of you following our story this will be a “youge” post.
We are happy to announce our church plant has a name. We would like to introduce you to Covenant Baptist Church of Northwest Arkansas. We have the website up at www.covenantbaptistnwa.com. Our church plant is located in Springdale, Arkansas, and we plan to launch services in September. Sunday will be our first home church meeting at the home of Lanny and Kathy Rice.
Pray for us as we gather that God would root and establish us in Him. Our logo is an olive tree and that is how I am picturing this new church. We will need nourishment and the tender care of our gardening God.
I read this today: Psalm 119: 124 “Deal with Your servant according to Your steadfast love, and teach me your statutes.125 I am Your servant; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies!” This is our cry, that Covenant Baptist Church would serve the LORD in the strength it receives from a deep understanding of God’s Law-Word.
We will begin renovation on our leased space this summer (the lease is $0). We will add some mini-splits to air condition the space and we need to purchase some basic sound equipment. We will also put in a lot of sweat and labor to paint and do minor repairs. We estimate our up-front cost will be $13,000 to $15,000. If you can help us financially please contact me or use our church giving platform that will be added to the church website very soon - hopefully tomorrow.
If you have questions - reach out to me. There is so much to tell, I would love the chance to give you more details!
