Covenant Players (also known as CP) is a missions-based theater company, fielding touring troupes in over 30 countries, founded on September 29, 1963, and still operating as of 2019.

It presents original Christian-themed plays written by founder Charles M. Tanner to schools, churches, hospitals, social service groups, the military, corporate and community organizations.

The mission of Covenant Players is "to communicate the Lord Jesus Christ through the medium of drama" [1]. CP can tailor-make presentations for Christian or secular clientele/audiences.

CP's World Headquarters (aka WHQ) is located in Oxnard, California, and their North American Headquarters in Toledo, Ohio. Around 13 full-time performing units are supported by principal offices in Germany, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Members are currently drawn from some two dozen nationalities.

Founder Charles M. Tanner died on March 11, 2006 after years of declining health following a massive stroke in 1998; Bobbi Johnson-Tanner became International Director.
