For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:35-41
Reach Out
Covenant's motto is "Building a Community . . . To Reach a Community". We take a broad view of community. We want to reach out to our neighbors right next door and to those around the world.
These are a few of the ways that we Reach Out to our community. We could use your help!
Frontline Partners
Fewer Missionaries, More Money, More Personal Care
Our desire is to know our supported missionaries personally, to support them generously, and to love them well in Jesus' name.
To realize this vision we have developed the concept of Frontline Partners; a missionary (a.) with whom we share a close, personal relationship, (b.) who connects us to a strategic opportunity to advance the gospel, and (c.) who offers us significant possibilities for participation in their mission. Our desire is to increase our financial support for these over the years to a level that represents our deep commitment to them in ministry. Additionally, we want to provide them with tender-loving care when they visit us and while they are on the mission field.
Frontlines Partners (Missionaries) - This select group of missionaries are those with whom we share a close, personal relationship; who connect us to a strategic opportunity to advance the Gospel, and who offer us significant possibilities for participation in their mission.
Beth Knapp leads in the translation of the Bible into various languages spoken in Central African Republic and Republic of Congo.

Bud Jackson (wife Mandy) supports churches and church planting in Zimbabwe, helping them serve poor, AIDS-stricken people.
Missions Hospitality
When missionaries visit Covenant's Community, we want to make them feel welcome and at home. This team works to care for our visiting missionaries by arranging housing and meals.
Meal Ministry
One vital way to support one another in our community is by physically providing for immediate needs. We make meals to comfort a family who has lost a loved one, to help exhausted parents who have recently welcomed a new child into their family, and when a family member is ill and the family needs help. You can join the meal ministry team at https://www.lotsahelpinghands.com/c/612458/login/
