Over the last 3 years, we've gathered in spaces all over town: The Landing, the Ranch House, the Community Center, Riverside Venue, and anywhere else that would have us. Through it all, a strong life-giving culture has been established.
We have a deep gratitude for this town and for the incredible faithfulness of the people who have shown up, week after week, to help build His Church in those spaces.
But now, a new chapter is coming. Having our own space gives us a creative liberty we haven't had yet, allowing us to serve even better and in far greater ways. We are stepping into our calling as a regional church with a global impact.
A place ready to serve people from all walks of life, providing real hope in a state-of-the-art room like nowhere else in town.
A dedicated space for children, ensuring the next generation is valued and taught the truth of Jesus while growing up to love church!
A welcoming space designed for hosting people to help create deeper connections and establish a strong community.
A property that provides better for our community by allowing us to extend our Covenant Academy, host dynamic services for CYC (Covenant Youth Church), and facilitate Covenant Sports ministries.
AND there is still vision for so much more we’re yet to begin…
We aren’t just building a place to meet; we are establishing a lighthouse for Southeast Missouri, calling people Home to the Life of God. We are reaching a harvest in this area that is ripe & ready, growing bigger and faster than we imagined.
This is about so much more than just a building. Lives are being healed and families restored. We have a significant opportunity to make an eternal impact in Van Buren and throughout the whole Southeast Missouri region.
"The time will come,” says the Lord, “when the grain and grapes will grow faster than they can be harvested."
(Amos 9:13)
This verse was an encouraging Word shared with us recently and we already see it happening. Help us collect this Kingdom harvest!
For only $500K we can eliminate our mortgage and completely revitalize this building for more ministry! Let’s be real and communicate clearly, we want to focus our energy on the ministry that needs to be happening for people in this region and not the fundraisers to help make ends meet each month.
Our goal is to raise the money by Memorial Day of 2026, in memory of the ONE who gave it all for us! This allows us all summer to make the desired improvements and launch into the new school year ready for impact! We can see “phase 2” approaching already on the horizon and we want to finish this out to start getting ready for it too!
Every dollar given will go directly to this project. We assure with full hearts that you’re not just giving to a building or an organization, you’re giving to changed lives all across our region!
