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.
