Covenant leaders approved a $10 million plan Monday night that will boldly address critical needs in our city and on our campus. Among the highlights:
A partnership to build a 185-unit apartment complex serving those in need of affordable housing;
A child development center on Covenant's campus offering full-day care and education as well as scholarship assistance for children of economically diverse families;
Substantial improvements to our campus, including a new hospitality center to house the child development classrooms and renovations to the Ed Wing and Fellowship Hall buildings to make them more welcoming and accessible.
Children spent part of their Sunday morning filling backpacks with school supplies for students in need.
Our partner schools are Highland Renaissance Academy in Charlotte and Crossnore Elementary in Avery County, NC. Thank you to all who contributed school supplies to help young people prepare for a new year.
