What are some of the privileges of association through covenant fellowship?
First, lets define covenant. Cov·e·nant is an mutual agreement, an undertaking in which a commitment is made through a pledge or bond in which both parties have a full understanding of what is required of them. Covenant is a intricate framework which requires trust in leadership, the fulfillment responsibilities, and accountability. When looking at covenant view it as a three fold rope. Ecclesiastes 4:9 lets us know that two are better than one. An important key to effective ministry in a day when most leaders do not feel the need to be accountable or subject to anyone. However scripture provides insight as to the benefits benefits of covenant where we can find strength, peace, and even profitability. There is also the greater benefit of protection: Ecclesiastes 4:12 lets us know that a three fold cord is not easily broken, we do for one another not out of a desire to be seen, but because of our love for each other and the responsibility to fulfill the call of God on our lives.
We provide training and spiritual support for Churches and Ministries.
Spiritual accountability and ministerial credibility through association and affiliation.
