While Covenant Church is committed to a strong mission in the city of Sharon and the Shanango Valley, we are also increasingly committed to a mission around the world! We currently have commitments to the nations of Mexico, Sierra Leone, Bolivia, and Haiti as well as the local ministry of Young Life. In addition we have a variety of other commitments that our Mission Team regularly communicates with and asks how we might better serve them for the sake of the Kingdom of God! We are annually committed to short term trips to the places that we support in an effort to encourage and help where needed!
