I have heard of Cornerstone churches, but not Covenant. Could you mean Cornerstone?

Covenant and Covenant Bible Churches are off shoots of the Presbyterian Church, if I am not mistaken

The Church of Christ's Alexander Campbell was a defrocked Presbyterian preacher. Scary.

Wiki info:

The Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) is an evangelical Christian denomination of more than 800 congregations and an average worship attendance of 178,000 people[1][page needed] in the United States and Canada with ministries on five continents. Founded in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, the church is now one of the most rapidly growing and multi-ethnic denominations in North America.[2] Historically Lutheran in theology and background, it is now a broadly evangelical movement.

Perhaps that was just the name of the church and it does not represent any particular denomination.
