Pastoral Group List

The Covenant congregation is divided into six pastoral groups with an Elder and Deacon assigned to each group. The goal of these groups is to carry out the work of pastoral care and to facilitate care and concern within the body by providing a way for members to get to know one another in a smaller group setting, enabling them to minister to and encourage one another.

Prayer Chain

When a prayer need arises, contact the prayer chain coordinator Sara Ploegstra, (church office 722-4465 or at home) or email covenant@mtcnet.net. If there is no answer, please contact your pastor, elder, or deacon. All members will each simultaneously receive the prayer request by e-mail.

Urgent Needs
In a more urgent situation, please contact Sara Ploegstra on her cell phone and your pastor, elder, or deacon so we can send it out to the congregation as quickly as possible.
