Covenant places an emphasis on world evangelism. Our Lord instructs His Church to spread the Gospel to the "uttermost end of the earth". Covenant seeks to support our missionary families through prayer, "Faith Promise Giving", and shepherding. The Missions Committee is charged with the oversight of our mission's program under the authority of the Session. Covenant is active in sending short-term teams to the mission field. How can you participate?
