Covenant Baptist Church number one task is to glorify God. Secondly, to proclaim the gospel of the risen Savior, and thirdly, to advance the kingdom that God is building in our local area as well as around the world.  

Covenant Baptist Church seeks to be a transforming presence in the heart of West Columbia and the surrounding communities with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Covenant Baptist Church desires to advance the Kingdom of God worldwide by engaging every member of the congregation in the church’s missions program by sharing resources for the ministry of Christ in word as well as in deed, and in sending workers to partner with other Christians in the building of the church in West Columbia as well as to the ends of the earth.

Covenant Baptist Church is currently involved in mission work in the following areas:

India: Carried on since 2001 by a group of members and non-members called The Mission Team. Each March the Mission Team goes to minister in Andhra Pradesh, India. The financial needs for this ministry and giving opportunities are listed here.

India Orphanage: 
We’ve begun working with our sister church in Guntur, India to start an orphanage for street children. Read more about it here.

Rock Hill, South Carolina, USA: 
In 2020, the Lord answered our prayers about extending Covenant Baptist’s local missions effort through the Corral family in Rock Hill, SC. Mark Corral and his family have been praying about and preparing for starting a church plant in the Northeast Columbia area. After some discussion with our elders, the decision to put the church plant in the Rock Hill area was made. Mark is now an elder-in-training with Covenant Baptist Church for this church plant. The church plant officially met for the first time on July 26, 2020. Please pray for the Rock Hill church plant and the Corral family. If you would like more info, contact any of the elders or elders-in-training at Covenant. Read more here.

The Word Ministries of Russia, Ukraine, China, & North Korea: 
In 2020, Bobby McDonald began attending Covenant Baptist Church. After some discussion and prayer with the elders, they agreed to partner with his ministry The Word Ministries of Russia. The Word Ministries of Russia has been working to strengthen the church in Russia for over twenty-five years in similar ways to CBC’s work in India and Kenya. Here are a few of the things they have done:

  • Assist with repairs to church building
  • Support multiple orphanages and ministries
  • Translate theologically sound books and Gospel tracts in to Russian
