Our Mission
This Christian fellowship exists to love and glorify God,
to share His grace through Jesus Christ with the people of Searcy
and White County and all nations, to love, edify and encourage
one another towards a mature covenant relationship with
God and to meet the needs of the community through loving fellowship
and service.
Our Vision
Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the
first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love
your neighbor as yourself.' " - Matthew 22:37-39
The
vision of the Covenant Fellowship Church will be fulfilled
by:
- Lifting
Jesus up through Spirit-filled lives, love for one another
and service to the community.
- Communicating
God's saving grace to those who do not know Him in such a
way they will desire a covenant relationship with Him.
- Loving,
encouraging and edifying one another as we grow into a mature
covenant relationship with God and a fellowship with Jesus
Christ our Lord.
- Providing
a warm and accepting fellowship where everyone feels welcome
and relationships can be established and strengthened through
unconditional love.
- Glorifying
God through Spirit-filled worship assemblies which are celebrative,
heart-felt expressions of reverence, awe, praise, joy and
devotion to Him, edifying to believers and convicting to the
unbelievers.
- Upholding
the Bible as God's inspired word and His Son Jesus as the
author of our salvation.
Our Foundation
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but
fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household,
built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In
him the whole building is joined together and rises to become
a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built
together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
Ephesians 2:19-22

principles of life, relationship, worship, teaching and organization
that are to be followed today.

go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
- Matthew 28:19-20
