Walk with Us: Invitation to stewardship
Message from our campaign chairs
As you consider your financial pledge for the upcoming year, we invite you to reflect on how you have been blessed.
Covenant members share insights in the first installment of a stewardship video series (at right).
Your commitment to walk with us enables Covenant to plan for the year ahead and position our ministries for the greatest impact. Thank you for your commitment to Covenant. It is a blessing to be on this journey with you.
