 Please Be Aware
From time to time we become aware of email phishing scams involving messages that appear to come from Covenant's ministers or staff. Sadly, churches and charities have seen an uptick in such scams lately. Please note that Covenant employees will never contact you from a non-church email address, nor will we ever request that you purchase anything on our behalf. If an email doesn't feel right, it probably isn't: feel free to contact us directly to confirm any communications.
