COVENANT'S PURPOSE is to worship the Triune God in Spirit and in truth. This worship compels us to love one another and to witness to all men, women, and children, discipling them in biblical Christianity in the historic tradition of the Westminster Confession of Faith.
Covenant is passionate about the Gospel. Christ's death on the cross as payment for the sin of His people and His resurrection is our only consolation in this life and the life to come, and our only motivation for faithful living.
We seek to fulfill this gospel driven purpose by emphasizing:
BIBLICAL EDIFICATION of the body of believers through instruction, fellowship, and prayer. As believers in the gospel, we submit to being life-long learners of Christ. We confess to ourselves, to our children, and to the world around us that we do not know best, that we will not lean on our own understanding, but that we will in all things acknowledge Christ's wisdom as given to us in Scripture and look for Him to direct our paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). In so doing we progressively put off old ways of thinking and we learn to put on the mind of Christ, to think Christ's thoughts after him, to take every thought captive in obedience to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). We exhort one another in this process of learning and heart change by faithful fellowship and prayer for one another.
