"Even so, every good tree bears good fruit; ..." Matt 7:17
"For if the first fruit is holy, the lump is holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches."
Rom 11:16

In 1971, Jack Cox, Pastor of Severn Covenant Church, was attending a Methodist Church . It was there that God began wooing Pastor Jack to a deeper relationship with Him. About that same time, the Holy Spirit was breathing new life into the church; a Billy Graham tent meeting ensued; and issues of true Salvation, Water Baptism, Tithing and the filling of the Holy Spirit came to the fore front.

The following year, in his hunger for God and search for a deeper relationship, Pastor Jack explored many churches. In 1974, Jack and his wife, Mary and their two children, having already left the Methodist Church, found a non-denominational church meeting in Ridgeway School that later became known as New Life Christian Fellowship.

New Life Christian Fellowship began meeting in a church building in Arnold, Maryland where Jack's calling to be a pastor intensified. In 1979, Pastor Jack Cox was ordained and moved a new work, the Arundel Christian Fellowship, to the Severn/Glen Burnie area. A remnant remained at the Arnold location and adopted the name New Covenant Church of Arnold and is currently led by Pastor Chris Peeler. Arnold 's New Covenant Church is a growing fellowship that now meets in their new building at 365 Jones Station Road .

In 1985, Arundel Christian Fellowship purchased land in the Severn area and began building. In 1987, the small church group moved from their regular meeting place of Quarterfield Elementary School to their new building and adopted the new name of Severn Covenant Church . In 1991 the building was expanded to the size of the current facility, but even this was being outgrown by the rapidly growing congregation.

In 2000, Severn Covenant Church launched its first church plant in Pasadena, Maryland, Lighthouse Covenant Church. Lighthouse Covenant Church meets at 7840 June Drive. In 2003, a second church plant was birthed, Harvest Covenant Church, which currently meets at the Severn Covenant Church building at 4pm on Sunday.

In 2006, Severn Covenant Church invites you to experience Covenant Family with us. Pastor Jack Cox received a word in 1979 from the Lord, "Treat them like family" which has set the tone for our congregation's history and its future.
