| Our Mission: |
| We believe that the church is the body of Christ.
As such, the New Testament clearly instructs the church to use
everyone's gifts for the good of the body (Eph. 4) and to spread
the good news of the gospel throughout our community and to
the world (Matt. 28). In order to carry out this mission in
an orderly way, Covenant Church has established an administrative
structure, accountable to the Council, that is charged to keep
a high focus on our mission/vision while carrying out our ministry
plans. |
