Strategic Partnerships
Ralph Reeder Food Shelf – Local Partner
The Ralph Reeder Food Shelf serves residents in the Mounds View school district. We encourage everyone to purchase an item to share every time you go shopping. Donations can be dropped off at the Food Shelf Table on Sunday mornings.
Covenant Pines Bible Camp – Regional Partner
Covenant Pines Bible Camp has been a place where people experience Christ in an outdoor setting since 1954. The camp covers 140 acres and is nestled between two lakes near McGregor, Minnesota.
CPBC expanded over the years to include the 1992 addition of the Silver Beach Family Area. In 2006, Adventurous Christians Covenant Wilderness Center was added near Grand Marais, MN (on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness).
We’re part-owners of these outstanding camps.
The Northwest Conference – Regional Partner
The Northwest Conference networks and provides support for Covenant churches in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota. They equip church leaders, plant churches, aid in established church revitalization, support pastors, help with church leadership transitions and sponsor youth and women’s events.
Urban Homeworks – Regional Partner
Urban Homeworks perpetuates the hope of Jesus Christ through dignified housing, a strategic network of good neighbors and innovative community development.
The Evangelical Covenant Church – National & International Partner
Founded in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, the Evangelical Covenant Church (aka “the other ECC”) is a rapidly growing, multi-ethnic partnership of 830+ churches in the US and Canada. We’re part of a movement with nearly 375,000 members in North America and ministries on five of the world’s continents.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit, our expanding global network is on the leading edge of racial reconciliation, church revitalization, transformational impact among the world’s poor and the fight against modern slavery.
The Covenant Denomination plants roughly two new churches per week. Covenant World Mission has missionaries working in at least 27 countries around the globe. When a tsunami struck India, when a hurricane ravished New Orleans, when an earthquake devastated an already devastated Haiti, Covenant World Relief was there providing humanitarian aid.
Covenant churches believe the Bible is the Word of God, share the Good News of God’s grace, help people develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, affirm a conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit and extend God’s love in tangible ways to our hurting world. Membership in the Covenant Church is open to all believers by confession of personal faith in Jesus Christ.
One of the defining characteristics of the Covenant is freedom within boundaries. While the Covenant unwaveringly affirms the Bible is our only perfect rule for faith, doctrine, and conduct, we acknowledge that God’s truth is sometimes revealed in paradox and shrouded in mystery. We focus on what unites us as followers of Christ and “agree to disagree” when the Bible is unclear.
Emmanuel Children’s Home – International Partner
Hogar De Ninos Emmanuel in Juarez, Mexico is a remarkable oasis in what some have called the “world’s most dangerous city.”
In addition to providing food, shelter and care for the children, the Home also provides education, medical and dental care, team sports, computer training, dance classes and more. Most importantly, Emmanuel provides a God-honoring, loving home for some of the world’s most vulnerable (and most adorable) children.
