This event is free and open for all so please register so that we can plan well for your optimal experience!
Christmas Eve Services
Advent celebrates Jesus stepping out of heaven to dwell with us. Join us for Christmas Eve at Plymouth Covenant Church as we remember the Savior who transforms those who make room for Him—through waiting, hardship, and ordinary life.
This year, Plymouth Covenant Church will host four Christmas Eve services; December 24th @ 1:00pm, 2:30pm, 4:00pm, & 5:30pm; plus a live-streamed service at 4:00pm.
While these services are going on in the main sanctuary, kids won't want to miss out on a Christmas party full of yummy treats, fun Christmas activities, live worship music, and small group time for connection! Don't forget to bring a friend or two!
International Christmas
Come and celebrate Christmas! This will be an international, family-friendly worship service with a Christmas meal to follow. We will sing familiar Christmas carols in English as well as some international languages.
This service is free and open for the community! For lunch, there will be an expected donation of $5.00 per person; Children 12 and under eat free.
Connect Lunch
Join us for a Connect Lunch!
Whether you've been with us for a few months, or a few weeks, we'd like to sit around a table with you and connect over lunch. It's a great way to meet some of our staff and others in the congregation.

Infant Baptism
PLEASE NOTE: On February 15th at 11am, there will be a required parent class on Infant Baptism. Parent participation in this class is REQUIRED in order to participate in the ceremony.
Learn more about baptism & dedication at PCC >>>
Infant Baptism is a service for parents who desire for their infant to be baptized. When an infant is baptized we trust the mystery of God’s grace working through the family of God until this child chooses to proclaim that faith as their own. We ask that parents who are choosing Infant Baptism also commit to raising their child in the love of Christ. They, with God’s help and the help of the Church community, desire to be examples of God’s grace and love. They are anticipating the day when their child will make a personal commitment to love, follow, and serve Jesus.
Registration Coming Soon
(Email char@plymouthcovenant.org to be the first to know when registration opens!)
Serve Lunch
Join us to talk about how you can use your gifts to live on mission with Jesus. We will take time to understand the unique gifts and experiences God has given each of us and how those can be used to show love to those around us.
We will share a meal and conversation. You will be provided with next steps so you have a clear direction on where you can serve.
All ages are welcome! There are opportunities to serve for everyone. Childcare will be provided for our littles.
Belonging
Do you feel like you’re on the outside looking in? Join us to spend time finding your place and discovering your purpose!
Our next session is March 7th, 2026 @ 9am-Noon
Here at Plymouth Covenant we want everyone to belong. Belonging is not just visiting the church, or knowing about our mission; it is taking the steps to go from being a stranger to becoming family.

Welcome Home! You belong here!

Here is our chance to show some Christmas love to people in the Minneapolis area again this year!
3,000 Acts of Kindness, a one-day event on December 8, 2025, at the Minneapolis Convention Center, provides a day of hope and dignity to as many as 4,000 homeless individuals in the Twin Cities.

Reengage
Want a better marriage?
ReEngage has already begun for this year, but newcomers are still welcome to come and join an open group.*
*Open groups will welcome newcomers all year, and those in open groups can attend as they're available rather than committing for the full session.
Sunday nights Sept 28-Feb 1 (Dec 21 & 28 off for Christmas) $40 includes 2 work books, and childcare. Contact PCC for scholarships.
Whether you’ve been married for 3 months or 60 years, if you’re pretty content or ready to give up, if your spouse won’t come, or you don’t feel like you have the time – come and see what God can do when you decide to work on yourself. Re Engage is now open to every married person that wants to improve their marriage.
Re Engage starts with worship and then we listen to either a teaching or a marriage testimony. 8 practical teachings, including 4 with Bob Leinberger, will help you understand each other, give you tools to change yourself, and will ultimately create more intimacy in your marriage. The marriage testimonies will help you feel less alone in your journey, inspire growth, and testify to real transformation. Afterward, we head to our small groups where we discuss the lesson for the week, and spend time focused on what we need to learn and do differently.
Re Engage is open to everyone, whether you attend PCC or not. We all know people that could benefit from working on their marriage, so invite your friends and neighbors. Re Engage will only be offered once this year, so don’t miss out!

A Full Life - Women's Fall Event
Most of us are living a life that is spilling over as we run households, care for those we love, deliver results at work, deliver people to places, and everything else that is needed from us. That chaotic life that often leaves us isolated and lonely.
Is it possible to live intentionally, align our priorities, and create margin in our lives? We want to experience that full life that is overflowing with peace, as we walk in the freedom that Jesus intends for each of us.
Let's gather for a time to build connections with other women, to have brunch, to be encouraged and to have some fun together. Please join us!
