EnglishWhat is Covenant OPC (covenantopc.org)?
Updated
Covenant OPC (covenantopc.org) is the official website of Covenant Presbyterian Church (OPC) in San Jose, California. It serves as the church's online front door, offering service times, sermon access, leadership information, and ways to get connected. If you're looking for a Reformed church in the San Jose area, want to watch a live stream, or are simply checking what the congregation believes and offers, this site is the place to start.
What the site is for
The homepage opens with a welcome message and the church's stated mission:
"To glorify God through worship, reaching out to our world, and by making disciples who love God, love each other, and love their world."
That mission statement frames everything else on the site: worship logistics, preaching content, and community connection.
Service times and attendance options
| Item | Time / Detail |
|---|---|
| Worship service | Sunday @ 10:00am |
| Sunday School | Sunday @ 11:30am |
| In-person attendance | Encouraged |
| Live stream | Available on the church's YouTube channel |
The site explicitly invites people to "join us in person this Sunday morning," while noting that a live stream is available for those unable to attend. That dual option matters if you're traveling, unwell, or exploring the church before visiting.
What you can find on the site
The main navigation covers five areas:
- I'm new — orientation content for first-time visitors
- Leadership — information about the church's leaders
- Sermons — preaching content, including current series
- Get Connected — ways to plug into the congregation
- Directions — how to find the physical location
There's also a Contact Us option and a bulletin link for the current week.
What's currently being preached
As of the site's current content, the church is finishing a series on "The Life of Joseph." The final message returns to a major theme in Joseph's story: Living in God's Good Providence — described as finding "real joy and peace, even in the tough times of life." A bulletin dated October 11 and a Sunday live stream link accompany this series.
