About Us || Covenant Life Church

Our Story

‍

Covenant Life Church has been part of this community since 1981—more than four decades of following Jesus together in Gwinnett County, Georgia. For years we met in rented spaces, a small community committed to the same things we're committed to today: knowing God, making disciples, and loving our neighbors. Under the faithful leadership of Pastor John Duke—who shepherded this church for 27 years—we purchased land, built our current facility, and grew into the community we are today.

‍

We believe God is shaping Covenant Life into something He's always had in mind—not just a church that gathers on Sundays, but a launching place. A community where people are formed in Christ and sent out to bless their neighborhoods, their city, and the world. That vision is already taking shape in partnerships like Boy With A Ball and Gwinnett Global School, both of which were born out of this community. We don't know everything God has next. But we know Who has led us this far—and we trust Him with what's ahead.

‍

Who we are

‍

We are a spiritual family—a community of people who love Jesus and are learning, together, what it means to actually live like Him. None of us have arrived. But we're all moving in the same direction: away from ourselves, toward Christ, and out into the world He loves.

‍

We're a pretty wide mix—different ages, backgrounds, stages of life, and cultures—but we share one journey: following Jesus and helping each other do the same. That's what holds us together.

Why we're here

‍

Most churches have programs for growth. We're more interested in relationships.

‍

We believe the deepest change in a person's life happens through real connection—with God and with people who know you by name. So everything we do is built around that: walking with people, not just pointing them somewhere.

‍

If you're looking for a place to belong and grow—not just attend—we'd love to meet you.

What we
Believe

We hold to the historic Christian faith—what followers of Jesus have believed and passed down across two thousand years. The Apostles' Creed says it better than we could:

"I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen."

The Apostles' Creed—and the creeds that followed—give voice to our faith in Jesus and connect us to everyone who has followed Him across the centuries. It reaches beyond any single denomination. It reminds us that we don't belong to a tribe or a tradition first. We belong to Him—and to each other.
