In the summer of 1986 the Presbytery of Nevada organized a task force to begin the process of establishing a new Presbyterian congregation in Reno, Nevada. Rev. Don Frank was our organizing pastor and faithfully led us through the chartering of Covenant Presbyterian Church, the building of our church facility in northwest Reno, and the development of our ministries until his retirement in 1996. It was during Dr. Frank's ministry that Covenant pledged to be a Christ centered congregation.

In 1998 we called Rev. James E. Hull to be our pastor. Pastor Jay has patiently guided our congregation as we seek to be truly Christ centered.

Our Session worked together under Pastor Jay's leadership to affirm and develop Mission, Focus, and Vision Statements that reflect our goal of proclaiming, teaching, learning, and living the Word of God, so that we and all those whom God brings our way have that desire to seek the Lord Jesus Christ.

In 2001 our Session voted to join many evangelical Presbyterian Churches in the Confessing Church Movement which stands for adhering to the Biblical truths that Jesus Christ is Lord of all and the only way of salvation; that Holy Scripture is the revealed Word of God and the Church's only infallible rule of faith and life; and that God's people are called to holiness in all aspects of life...

Throughout our history Covenant members have reached out through evangelism and mission efforts to the homeless here in Reno, and to those in other countries like Africa, Argentina, China, and Mexico who so badly need to hear the good news of the Gospel.

Our history continues to unfold. We pray for God to equip us to do what He calls us to do and to be in order to further His Kingdom until Christ comes again.
