- resources for men
vision In ongoing pursuit of God's will, this ministry is focused on creating structured opportunities for study, worship and fellowship among men, to encourage authentic one-on-one relationships that draw each man closer to Christ. We're currently meeting for prayer & bagels every 3rd Saturday of the month in the kitchen at church at 7:00 am to facilitate building relationships.
Covenant men's ministry has four ministries.
- men's Bible studies Several groups meet on different mornings. For more information on these groups, contact Barry Click, (540) 833-6584, barryclick@gmail.com.
- men's retreat As Jesus often retreated to spend time in prayer with His Father, so will the men of Covenant retreat for a time of teaching, worship, fellowship, and prayer. A team has been formed to work on the planning process for the next men's retreat. To be a part of this team, contact Bill Johnson, (540) 434-6944, enjoylifex5@yahoo.com.
- meaningful service As believers, and as men, we are called to serve one another in love. As we love our neighbors as ourselves, we focus on serving both the church and the community in which we live. This team plans one or more projects to create opportunities for the men of Covenant to assist those in need, which strengthens our relationship with Christ. To be a part of this team, contact Mike Carpenter, (540) 885-2019, baldvtbear@yahoo.com.
- communication As our church body grows, so must our efforts to stay connected and maintain fulfilling relationships with other men. This team develops and implements strategies to connect the men of Covenant, and distributes men's ministry updates. To be a part of this team, contact Barry Click, (540) 833-6584, barryclick@gmail.com.
