Faith Covenant Church

What Faith Covenant Church does

Faith Covenant Church is a non-profit evangelical congregation headquartered at 12921 Nicollet Ave. S. in Burnsville, Minnesota, and a member of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) denomination, which was founded in 1885 by Swedish immigrants. The church operates a Gather, Grow, Go pathway model: Gather through weekly Sunday worship services at 10:30 AM with modern music and conversational preaching; Grow through small groups launched twice yearly, men's, women's, and grandparenting ministries, and mid-week Bible studies; and Go through local outreach and global mission partnerships spanning five continents. The church serves a multigenerational, multiethnic congregation across the Twin Cities metropolitan area, with programming for children (birth through 5th grade), youth (6th through 12th grade), adults by life stage, and seniors.

The church's product surface is anchored by the FaithConnect digital ecosystem — comprising the FaithConnect App (mobile) and FaithConnect Online (web), both powered by CCB Church (Church Community Builder) — which handles member registration, small group signups, event registration, and access to faith resources. Supporting digital infrastructure includes PushPay for online giving and recurring donations, YouTube for livestream and sermon archiving (channel ID UCnm2L7GjRHrO0BRMIDttk3A), RSS.com for the Faith Focus Podcast, and Mailchimp for newsletter distribution. The church runs specialized ministry programs: FaithKids children's ministry with a sensory room for special needs, Awana Together Wednesday-night family ministry using Awana curriculum (Cubbies, Sparks, Awana Brite), Faith Youth with confirmation programming and Winter Camp, Care Ministry for pastoral services, and GO outreach programs including DinoMights, Homework Help for the local Somali community, M.O.M.S. for single mothers, and Team World Vision.

Faith Covenant operates on a donation-based revenue model. Primary revenue comes from voluntary tithes and offerings collected during services and through the PushPay online giving platform. Secondary revenue streams include nominal program fees — $25 per family annually for Awana Together registration and $25 retail ($20 with church discount) for women's book study materials — with scholarships available upon request. No mandatory fees are charged for regular worship services. The church is governed by a volunteer Leadership Team elected by members and led by Lead Pastor Brad Kindall, who has served since February 2016. Operational staff includes pastors and directors covering care, children's, youth, missional engagement, and operations functions, supported by administrative roles. As a 501(c)-style religious nonprofit, Faith Covenant holds no external institutional investors and operates with operational autonomy within the ECC denominational structure.
