Our Purpose

​

The purpose statement of Love Covenant Fellowship is derived from the final words of Jesus to His followers. These words are known as the Great Commission and can be found in Matthew 28:16-20.

​

 Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them doubted! Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

​

Matthew 28:16-20

​

The purpose of Love Covenant Fellowship is to lead people to the love and grace of God, and to grow together in a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ.

​

Our hope is that by providing an atmosphere of worship and community, you will know you are not only welcomed here, but you are welcomed into a real, powerful, and life changing relationship with Jesus.
