The address for Covenant Christian School is 54790 N Fir Rd, Mishawaka, Indiana 46545.
We hope to see you there!

Rolf Caylor (1933-2015)
Mr. Caylor was programming computers back in the era of punch cards and magnetic-core memory. A native of Ohio, and a son of a Presbyterian manse, Rolf served as an elder at MCPC from 2003-2014. His remarkable gift in 2004 enabled us to build our church building. At the time of the donation he said that he had always wondered why God had never given him a wife and children as he had so often prayed — but that when he found MCPC in his sixties, he discovered the reason: so that he might be able to provide a place of worship for the many children of the church. At the time of his death, he had 143 spiritual grandchildren (the number of children for whom he had served as elder).
