We count it a privilege to serve as staff and to walk alongside this church family. Yet we believe the true heart of ministry is not found in the offices or roles we hold, but in the people of Covenant who live out their faith daily—in their homes, neighborhoods, and workplaces. Together, we are the body of Christ, and it is through the Spirit working in all of us that ministry truly flourishes.
