ABOUT US

ABOUT US

“Our biggest honor is helping our customers find their success - together”

In 2001, I was just finishing up 11 years of full-time ministry when I realized that churches needed ways to improve and deliver impactful worship services to their congregations. At the time, there were very few companies operating in this space, so I started Covenant in my garage with one goal in mind - to help churches with the quality of their services through sound, lighting and video design. I started with one customer that year and have been growing our business ever since! Covenant is now called for our expertise with sports stadiums and arenas, school auditoriums, houses of worship and entertainment venues. 

Covenant has been an early adopter of LED wall installation and has become an industry leader in developing unique and creative installation techniques.  

 

At Covenant, we believe that excellence is only possible through hand-in-hand partnerships with our clients. These life long relationships have not only helped us grow into a successful company, but they have also made our jobs worth while.Over the years, we have built a foundation of trust and commitment through our relationships with construction managers, worship leaders, schools, choir directors, and so many others, many of whom have been with us since day one. 

 

Proving that relationships matter, our team has worked on several nationally acclaimed projects over the years such as Katy Legacy Stadium, Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church, Gateway Church, Prairie View A&M Stadium, Lakewood Church, AD Players theater, and most recently, Houston’s new professional rugby stadium for the Saber Cats. While these projects are huge accomplishments, we take the most pride in helping people accomplish their goals –a pastor or worship team wanting to elevate the corporate worship experience, or a theater or choir team needing to find their “voice” in a performance. In other words, our biggest honor is helping our customers find their success–together.
