CHICAGO, IL (April 27, 2020) – Covenanters are invited to give, as they are able, to the recently launched Covenant COVID-19 Financial Relief Initiative on #GivingTuesdayNOW, May 5.

.The Covenant’s unprecedented financial relief initiative provides:

  • Short-term loans to local churches, conferences, and camps
  • Global relief grants to ministry partners around the world
  • Missional relief grants to churches so they can help care for their communities
  • The Ministers’ Crisis Fund to assist Covenant clergy in times of acute need

“While many of us are putting all of our resources into managing our own family needs, we recognize that others are able to share some of the resources God has blessed us with to help in this time of need,” said Gayle Gilreath, executive director of advancement.
