Making a difference in our community and around the world through compassionate service, one family at a time.

WHAT IS COVENANT CARES?

Our Mission

Covenant Cares is a year-long community impact initiative of Covenant United Church of Christ, launched in 2026 to serve families in need across the South Suburbs and around the world.

We believe that faith without works is dead (James 2:17). Through monthly campaigns addressing critical needs like food security, utility assistance, transportation, and global partnerships, we're putting our faith into action.

September 2026: Covenant Community Unite

This September, Covenant United Church of Christ continued its commitment to strengthening the community through the Covenant Cares Community Unite Cookout, a free community event designed to bring people of all ages together. The event provided free food, games, bouncy houses, music, and activities for children, families, adults, and older community members. Our goal was to create a welcoming space where everyone could come together, connect with one another, and enjoy a day of fun, fellowship, and community. By inviting the entire community to participate, the cookout celebrated the importance of connection and creating opportunities for neighbors of all generations to come together.
