Covenant Presbyterian Church Our mission statement: By God’s own grace and power, Covenant Presbyterian Church will be a church of passionate worship, sacrificial service, respectful evangelism, authentic fellowship, and rich discipleship, a place where seekers are invited and equipped to become mature disciples of Christ in Austin and around the world. In 1960, the Presbyterian Church U.S. asked the Rev. Carl Eaton, a former missionary to China and recent graduate of the Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, to meet with a group of northwest Austin residents intending to form a new church. In March 1961, a small fellowship of 96 members, who had been meeting in the Highland Park Elementary School, affiliated with the Presbyterian Church U.S. Under the leadership of the Rev. Eaton, the supporting presence of his wife, Esther, and the work, prayer and diligence of the members, the congregation was soon thriving.
