Christ Covenant Church (CCC) is a member of the Presbyterian Church in America and Covenant Presbytery. Empowered by God’s grace, CCC humbly seeks to be a genuine body of believers expressing authentic love for others in Hernando and everywhere we are called to serve. We currently hold seasonal Christian Education (CE) on Sunday mornings and Youth Group on Wednesday nights and events throughout the year.
