Local Service Initiatives

Covenant Mercies

Another significant part of the mission of Covenant Mercies is to serve those in our own local community who have serious physical or material needs. Though we live in a prosperous society, there are many around us whose lives have been severely affected by multi-generational cycles of poverty and welfare dependence. Others have needs or limitations that significantly restrict their ability to provide for themselves and their families. In response, we have sought to devise strategic, enduring methods that will provide long-term solutions for those we’re attempting to serve. Our desire is that the love and mercy of Jesus Christ would be magnified as we reach out to our local community in His name.
