Andrew Myers

Andrew and his wife, Cyndi, are Midwest natives, having both grown up in Colby, Kansas. Married in 2011, they have four young children—Nathaniel, Jackson, Levi, and Calvin. Life (read: school) has taken them first to Chicago and then to the Philadelphia area where they lived for nearly a decade, and where Andrew served as associate pastor at Trinity Church in Hatboro, Pennsylvania.

Andrew began serving at Covenant Church in 2023. His passion as a pastor is to see people gripped by the transforming power of God’s grace—delighting in knowing God, following Christ, and making him known.

A graduate of Moody Bible Institute (BA, 2013) and Westminster Theological Seminary (MDiv, 2017), Andrew is currently completing a PhD in Old Testament Studies from Westminster.

In his free time, Andrew enjoys reading, playing music—piano or guitar, both with profound mediocrity—and simply being with family and friends. As a family, Cyndi and Andrew spend much of their time outside, hiking, biking, or playing tennis—at which Andrew hopes to win someday.
