what we do
|
There are hundreds of thousands of ministries, both formal and informal, in the United States. Covenant Commission is different than the majority of ministry organizations because we are under the authority of a local church and exists to fulfill the evangelistic commission of the church. This commission is the proclamation of God's Word, the assimilation of believers into the Church and the discipleship of the saints in all matters that pertain to life and godliness in the Church, the family and civil government. Our purpose is to aid in the education, evangelism and reformation of all facets of society. We will use every legitimate and suitable tool for this purpose. However, the means for this is only found in the church's faithful exposition of the Word, the faithful administration of the Sacraments and the faithful exercise of church discipline.

family reformation
Just as the Church is to be an agent of grace, the family is to be an agent of Christian discipleship. Although the Church is to lead, support and strengthen the family in this task, it is the ultimately the responsibility of the husband/father to advance the kingdom of Christ through the training of children.

Civil reformation
Even though it has become taboo for churches and pastors to engage in political matters, we believe civil government was instituted and ordained by God. Romans chapter 13 teaches us that civil rulers are commissioned with the duty of punishing evil and promoting righteousness. Learn more...
