Covenant Presbyterian Church, Wheat Ridge: Missions

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded
you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (ESV)

The objective of the Mission Committee is to motivate, encourage and aid the congregation to a concern for the unsaved of the world and to actively obey the Great Commission through prayer, education, giving, caring for missionaries and serving as missionaries.

"God has given us prayer as a wartime walkie-talkie so that we can call headquarters for everything we need as the kingdom of Christ advances in the world. Prayer gives us the significance of front-line forces, and gives God the glory of a limitless Provider." John Piper, Let the Nations Be Glad

Covenant Presbyterian Church supports and encourages both short-term and long-term missions.

Since 2000 we have sent mission teams to Juarez, Mexico to assist Iglesia Presbiteriana Verdad y Fe pastored by Rev. Juan Pablo Gutierrez. Activities on these trips have included construction, painting and assisting in Vacation Bible School; but most important we have enjoyed the fellowship of our brothers and sisters in Mexico.

In 2005 we sent an eight member mission team to Kiev, Ukraine. While there the team lead a very exciting Vacation Bible School but brought back much more than they left with.

CPC helps to support Missionaries and Mission in Mexico, France, Africia, Latin America, Ukraine, India, Arminia, and here in Colorado.
