Welcome to Covenant Cares

UNITING FOR MISSION THROUGH 45 TRANSFORMATIONAL MINISTRY OPTIONS

Covenant Cares is your place to engage and connect with God’s work in the world through the Evangelical Covenant Church.

Since the inception of our denomination, mission has been a central organizing factor. We were originally known as mission friends, friends who came together to study Scripture and intentionally live it out by caring for our neighbor well. Through Covenant Cares we have an opportunity to coalesce around that same mission today.

Our world continues to experience much heartbreak and devastation. Covenant Cares is a way for us to unite in mission to participate in God’s kingdom work on earth, and to share and grow together in the transformative love of Christ. While the needs are great, the opportunities are greater. In these pages, you will find ways through which you can participate as agents of hope and healing for our world. Please read through this guide to select and support the ministries closest to your heart. You can also make a gift to “where needed most,” which ensures that all of our shared ministry can continue into the next year.

As you browse through the gifts below please pray for these ministries and the people they impact. We pray that as you join with your gifts and prayers, you may continue to experience the transformative love of God as well.

We are grateful for your commitment to Covenant mission and ministry. Through your gifts you support the efforts of churches and communities around the world for God’s glory and neighbor’s good!
