Faith Covenant Church
was started by the American Sunday School Union
and the Evangelical Covenant Church as a Sunday School. A small frame building
was erected at the corner of 61st and Ames in the rapidly growing Faith
community in northwest Omaha. The building was dedicated on December 23, 1945,
and the first Sunday School classes were held one week later on December 30th.
Faith Covenant Church was organized as Bensonvale Covenant Church with
forty-six members and affiliated with the Evangelical Covenant Church and the
Midwest Covenant Conference on January 30, 1948.
A larger brick building replaced the original building and was constructed at
the same location. The new building was dedicated on February 10, 1957.
The church continued to grow and acquired the present building at 84th and Fort
in 1987. The name of the church was changed to Faith Covenant Church in
2003 to better reflect who we are and what we believe. |
