FTA Legacy 5K

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 that he founded. Join his family, friends, and church family as we keep his memory alive and continue the legacy that he started.
