Ron Abrams’ working class roots coupled with real world experience make him uniquely suited to lead Mansfield into a new era of growth and prosperity. Born from humble and difficult beginnings, Ron got his first taste of adversity at the young age of nine, when his father unexpectedly died in an automobile accident. By the age of thirteen Ron was working to help support his mother and four siblings. He worked in greenhouses and other manual labor, eventually becoming a machinist. Although not afraid of hard work, he didn’t have as much confidence in his academic ability. A teacher, Mr. Caryer, took an interest in him and encouraged Ron to pursue a college degree. Despite a somewhat rough start, Ron eventually completed not only his undergraduate degree, but later his doctorate, ascending to leadership as a university president.

Covenant is a loving and vibrant community of God’s people that has joined to worship the living and true God who has manifested His glory in the person of Jesus Christ. We believe that the Reformed Faith, as revealed in the Westminster Confession of Faith, is the most faithful and accurate description of what the Holy Scriptures reveal concerning man’s need of salvation, God’s all-sufficient provision for our salvation in the death of Jesus Christ, and the manner in which we should live based upon the love that He has shed abroad within our hearts. We invite you to join with us in celebrating the victory of Jesus Christ and in worshiping the triune God this Sunday.
