Christ Covenant Church

What Christ Covenant Church does

Christ Covenant Church is a non-profit religious corporation and congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), headquartered on a 69-acre, 11-building campus at 800 Fullwood Lane in Matthews, North Carolina. Founded in 1981 under Reverend Bob Wilcox, it now operates under Senior Pastor Kevin DeYoung — a published theologian and associate professor at Reformed Theological Seminary Charlotte — with a staff of over 60 pastors and directors serving 750+ member families. The church provides weekly morning and evening worship, preaching, sacraments, pastoral counseling, Sunday School, and a full life-stage ministry portfolio spanning children's ministry (birth-5th grade), youth (grades 6-12), young adults (18|22 and 20s-30s), senior adults, disability ministry (HisAbilities), and women's, men's, music, and small-group ministries.

The church's technology stack is conventional rather than proprietary: a WordPress-based website (christcovenant.org), a Subsplash-built mobile app distributed on iOS, Android, and Amazon, YouTube livestreaming of both Sunday services, and sermon podcast distribution across Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Castbox, Goodpods, and Buzzsprout. Sermon archives, prayer guides, online giving, and event registration are accessible through these channels. The affiliated Covenant Day School (K-12, sharing the campus) and Campus Outreach Charlotte extend the operational footprint; the church also supports 90 missionaries and church planters across 20 countries through Faith Promise giving.

The revenue model is voluntary tithes and offerings from member households, augmented by Faith Promise (missions pass-through), Kingdom-Advancement, and capital-campaign receipts. Giving is collected via Fellowship One and PaySimple (ACH/eCheck and credit/debit), supporting both one-time and recurring gifts. The church does not charge for worship, Sunday School, or small groups, and it maintains no public pricing. There is no parent company, no outside ownership, no venture funding, and no public-trading status — governance rests with an elected session of elders and a Director of Church Administration.

2. Online Giving Platform: Members can give one-time or recurring gifts through the Fellowship One online giving platform, eCheck/ACH transfers, credit/debit cards, or through their personal bank accounts.
3. Special Offerings and Campaigns: Capital campaigns (such as the building campaign), designated offerings for specific ministry areas, and support for Covenant Day School and Campus Outreach.
