Missions

A large part of our calling is to pour out God's love to the world. We encourage our people to live out this calling by building relationships with people in their daily life, doing good deeds and perhaps even going cross-culturally to another country.

We also live out that calling financially. Covenant Church commits 20% of our annual budget to support missions efforts both here in the greater Lafayette area as well as around the world.

Strategically, we want to put our efforts into the following Focus Areas where we believe God is calling us to participate in His work.

Covenant has a long-standing relationship with an orphanage in Jamaica, and from that relationship, we have developed a relationship the pastors of a local church and youth camp. These local pastors minister to the young people as they age out of the orphanage and also reach their needy community.

Covenant also has long-term relationships with several churches, pastors, and a seminary Mexico and a newer relationship with an organization in Haiti supporting education and community development in an unreached rural area. Many short-term mission teams from Covenant have traveled to these partners and provided encouragement and assistance in ministry.

Economically, socially and spiritually, Romanians are still struggling to overcome the impact of the oppressive Communist rule, which collapsed in 1989. Covenant works with Romanian church planters to spread the gospel and care for the needy. In addition, we support the development and training of these local pastors with our Seminary in a Suitcase program.

Covenant also supports a ministry whose goal is to rescue, house and care for trafficked women and prevent trafficking which is prevalent in Romania.
