2021 BEST OF NEWTON We are thankful and grateful for our church family and community. Because of your dedication, generosity, partnerships, and hard work in serving the community with servants’ hearts, Covington First UMC was presented with the following certificates from the Covington News: Best Church, Best Preschool, Food Pantry Best Place to Volunteer, and Change The World Day Best Charity Event and Best Community Event. Our Preschool continues to expand the educational opportunities for the precious little ones who are the future of our community.

Even with the constraints and guidelines of Covid-19 in 2020, with your help, we never slowed the work of Jesus in our community.

This is ONLY possible because of each of you! Thank you!

We look forward to 2021 and working in partnership with each of you as we continue to reach our community in the name of Jesus.
