Join us for our 1st annual Legacy 5K in honor of the late Pastor Frederick T. Anderson. Pastor Anderson is the founding pastor of Covenant Christian Ministries and a leader in Marietta for over 30 years. He and his wife ran a private school, Covenant Christian Ministries Academy, in Marietta for 25 years, which matriculated numerous students who were not only native to Georgia but came from various parts of the world. Since 2016 the church has been meeting at various locations Cobb Galleria, McEachern Auditorium, The Mansour Center, but we settled at Smitha Middle School in 2019. It was Pastor Anderson's goal to build a permanent home for Covenant Christian Ministries, and all proceeds from the 5K will go toward making that vision a reality. The 5K course is a look back at our church history and the various places we called home in Marietta. Pastor Anderson transitioned to his heavenly home on January 19, 2025. This race honors Pastor Frederick T. Anderson and celebrates the church

RACE DAY SCHEDULE: 8:00 AM - On-Site Registration and Check-In Opens 8:30AM - Opening Ceremony 9:00AM - 5K START 10:00AM - General Awards Presentation Our why: If there were ever a person who symbolized light, Sims Vickers was it. He was so kind, caring, outgoing, and fun. Sims’ life ended much too soon on March 27, 2022. After raising over $25,000 for local, caregiving non-profits the past two years, we’re ready to run the Let It Shine 5K again. This event is our attempt to continue spreading light with a world that needs it. This year, our attention has turned to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Piedmont Columbus Regional – Midtown. It is the only NICU in our region – a Level III, 46-bed NICU – helping babies with health complications to have a fighting chance to thrive. Almost everyone has been touched by or known a family that needed the care a NICU, our local NICU, provides. It is our hope to grow the breadth of care they offer. In our quest to support the NICU, we are specifically supporting the NICU Fund and the NICU Bereavement Fund of the Piedmont Foundation. The NICU fund, itself, provides for the needs of the babies, their families, and the staff while they are in the hospital. The NICU Bereavement Fund assists with end of life care for families who experience such a difficult end to their NICU journey. Your donation will shine a light for real patients and their families, helping them through an incredibly difficult time in their lives. Thank you for joining us in this important work!

Strides for Students Fun Run Hosted by Driven to Encourage Ministries Join us for the Strides for Students Fun Run, a morning of fun, community, and purpose as we come together to support the mission of Driven to Encourage Ministries! Strides for Students is more than a fun run — every stride helps us reach students with the hope of Jesus. Driven to Encourage Ministries exists to go directly into our local public schools and meet students right where they are. Through school clubs, Bible studies, student outreach, encouragement, mentorship, and the distribution of Bibles, our team has the incredible opportunity to consistently invest in the next generation and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Over the years, more than 60,000 students have been reached, over 5,000 documented salvations have taken place, and more than 40,000 Bibles have been placed into the hands of students. We praise God for every number because behind each one is a student with a name, a story, and a life that matters. Strides for Students helps make that ministry possible. Funds raised through this event help Driven to Encourage continue showing up for students throughout the school year — providing Bibles and resources, supporting school outreach programs, and creating opportunities for students to hear the Gospel and be encouraged in their faith. What to Expect This is a FUN run, so you don't have to be an experienced runner to participate! Run it, jog it, walk it, bring your family, invite your friends, and come enjoy a great morning together. All ages and ability levels are welcome.
