Who We Are

Our Team & Leadership

We are governed by a Leadership Team, comprised of our Pastor and seven lay members of our community voted into service by a gathering of the whole body. Each Council member serves as a chair to a church/ service area.

Pastor Joel Anderle

Pastor Joel received the call to Community Covenant in 1999.  He has helped lead several phases of Community Covenant’s life over time.  He is invigorated by pastoral work and spiritual life.  He and his wife, Dr. Janine Post-Anderle, DNP, have six grown children, including first son-in-law.   He enjoys reading broadly, listening to many genres of contemporary music, time at Pilgrim Pines and with family.

With extensive study of the Old Testament, she loves to interact with the stories of the Bible and teach and help apply them to all age groups, nursery through seniors! Pastor Bekah grew up in the mountains of Washington State and is enjoying the landscape and culture of the North Shore. When she is not at CCC, she can be found exploring the outdoors, walking along the shoreline, swimming, downhill skiing, practicing photography, playing board games, and spending time with her puppy Pippin.
