They have four adult daughters; Jennifer (husband Joshua), Heather (husband John), Kristen (husband Anthony) and Stephanie (husband Matt). The church is built on the foundations of genuine, heartfelt worship of the most high God, and authentic relationships. We\u2019re \u201ca family on a mission.\u201d<\/p>\n Covenant Family Church began in a home in Mankato on Easter Sunday, 1994. From the very beginning, our desire was to see people experience the life-changing power of Jesus Christ, connect relationally, and be agents of change in our city and beyond. The church, then called Christian Life Center (CLC), met for several years in Hoover Elementary School before moving to the old Riverfront West building.<\/p>\n In late 2000, Riverfront West was torn down to make room for new construction, while CLC went through some shaking as well, in the form of a major leadership transition. This eventually led to Pat and Theresa Forbes and their family moving to Mankato from Pittsburg, Kansas to pastor the church. The name was changed to Covenant Family Church in 2003, in recognition of the work we believe God to be doing among us.<\/p>\n Today, we are a thriving, growing congregation of people from both near and far, with diverse backgrounds but a common desire to see lives transformed by the power of God. We invite you to join us and experience God\u2019s presence in our midst.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” admin_label=”Section” module_id=”what-we-do” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”10%||10%||true|false” animation_style=”zoom” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_intensity_zoom=”4%” da_popup_slug=”what-we-do” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”55%” width_tablet=”55%” width_phone=”80%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”avenir|600|||||||” header_3_font_size=”30px” header_3_letter_spacing=”1px” header_3_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_3_font_size_phone=”26px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”avenir||||||||” text_font_size=”17px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”avenir||||||||” header_line_height=”1.3em” header_2_font=”avenir||||||||” header_2_font_size=”24px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” header_3_font=”avenir||||||||” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” header_4_font=”avenir||||||||” header_4_line_height=”1.3em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Our purpose is to make disciples who passionately love God, love others, and impact the culture around them for Jesus Christ.\u00a0This will happen as we intentionally connect, grow, and serve.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" About UsLeardership TeamWho We AreWhat We DoLeadership TeamSenior leaders – Pat and Theresa Forbes Pat and Theresa Forbes serve as the senior leaders at Covenant Family Church.\u00a0 They have four daughters, and eight grandchildren.\u00a0 Pat and Theresa enjoy spending time with their family, and especially look forward to times when everyone is able to be […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1317","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cfcmankato.org\/minnesota\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cfcmankato.org\/minnesota\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cfcmankato.org\/minnesota\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cfcmankato.org\/minnesota\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cfcmankato.org\/minnesota\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1317"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/cfcmankato.org\/minnesota\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1317\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1363,"href":"https:\/\/cfcmankato.org\/minnesota\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1317\/revisions\/1363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cfcmankato.org\/minnesota\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Leaders – Tim and Becky West<\/h4>\n
