Our Vision calls us to welcome the CommUnity with love, seek understanding, and spiritual maturity, and stand for our God's purpose through justice and service. Our vision has three mandates:

Health

 

We are a church where all types of healings happen - spiritual, physical, and psychosocial, etc. Every member is called to heal: Covenant Health Ministry, Covenant Study (Sunday School, Word on Wednesday), and Covenant Recovery Support Groups.

We are a church that seeks to restore wholeness in brokenness. Every member is called to DO justice. New Covenant provides CommUnity Support via record expungements, voter registration, employment fairs, educational opportunities and removing barriers for affordable housing, a more just criminal system, economic equity and jobs. We also partner with the NAACP, IMF, NOAH, Meharry, Robert Churchwell School and 18th Ave Family Enrichment Center.
