what is a covenant?
A covenant is an agreement that two parties enter into willingly, committed to a shared outcome. Here at Calvary, that shared outcome is to make disciples.ย
A covenant community is all in. It means there is a shared vision where everyone is working together, in spiritual unity, with biblical lifestyle standards and core values that honor the Lord and one another. A covenant helps the leaders at Calvary to better serve our church with mutual devotion to Christ and an unwavering commitment to making disciples without compromising our foundational values.
