Our Mission

Helping young people and those who minister with them know Christ and make Christ known.

“We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.”
1 Thessalonians 2:8

The Covenant Community

Contemplation. Prayer is an acknowledgement of the presence of God in our lives as well as in the life of our ministry. We must desire to cover youth ministry in prayer and realize that ministry is a call and not a job.

Community. With the knowledge that we come from different backgrounds, have different theologies and are shaped by different experiences, we join with each other to tend the Spirit and share the challenges and joys of ministry.

Companioning. We move from prayer and community to presence, revealing the beauty of youth ministry to all with whom we interact. We become intentional about accompanying young people in their walk with Christ.

Clarity. We gain understanding through prayer and interaction. This leads to discerning how we are called to minister to youth.

Action. Grounded in our faith, participation in the sacraments and desire for community, we begin to take action in fulfilling our call. Programs and ministries are developed from these cornerstones.

Reflection. We look back on our actions in the light of scripture and our Christian tradition. We determine how the Spirit is moving or blocked through our programs and actions.

Return to Contemplation. We start the cycle again, asking God for healing, guidance and renewal.
