Welcome to Blue River!

We’re glad you’re here!

Blue River is a church that seeks to do three things:

  • worship God Biblically;

  • teach believers the Word of God; and

  • proclaim the Gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ alone

We invite you to our services, to join with us in our work, and to share in our fellowship. We strive to emphasize basic New Testament teachings, and practice the New Testament ordinances.


Dr. Bob Blume, a former national leader of Promise Keepers, will speak at the 2023 Men’s Dinner of the Blue River Covenant Brethren Church.

Blume currently is Prison Re-Entry Leader for Man4Man Ministries, a central Indiana ministry to transition offenders to freedom. He coached the Taylor University Men’s Tennis Team to is first NAIA tournament appearance, and is in the NAIA Tennis Hall of Fame.

The Men’s Dinner will be March 14, 6:30 p.m. Doors will open at 5:45 p.m. Besides a delicious dinner, there will be giveaways.

The Blue River Covenant Brethren Church is located at 3040 E 700 N, Columbia City, on the Noble-Whitley County Line Road between State Road 9 and U.S. 33 in the Tri-Lakes area.
