Activities and Achievements
The vision of Covenant Glory Christian Centre (registered charity number 1182074) is to establish a church that is committed to spreading the Gospel and increasing the number of disciples that are called to serve in the ministry.
The divine mandate to increase the number of disciples is evidenced by the various ministries that have been established within the church. These ministries are detailed below.
-
The formation of the intercessory prayer ministry is in response to the bible call for the church to be a house a prayer. This is administered through weekly and monthly prayers by a dedicated team of church members who voluntarily sacrifice time to attend these meetings;
-
The Men’s ministry is a ministry that was established to minister to men in West Yorkshire with the agenda of helping them become pillars in the society and home whilst pursuing a personal relationship with God;
-
The Women’s ministry aim was to gather women of all ages and background or protected characteristics to help them establish better relationships in the community and God through evangelical events, biblical study and other social events; and
-
The Youth ministry is focused on improving the lives of young men in the catchment area whilst noting the social -economical hurdles that they face. This ministry supports youth through various activities that are designed and help them to establish a discipleship with Jesus and make friends in the community. The other established ministries that have made a significant impact in the community are the Praise & Worship and Ushering ministries.
The church is located in East part of Leeds which has become a cosmopolitan community area with new migrants from Eastern Europe and East Africa. The blend of cultural differences has resulted in new opportunities to connect to other faiths that the church has never had access to. This has enhanced the vision of evangelism as one of the church objectives of working in the community.
The church has made significant progress in publishing the Gopsel to the surrounding towns in West Yorkshire.
One of the regional and strategic developments is the establishment of the Daughters of Vision conferences. These outreach activities have generated increasing interest, this has resulted in an increase in attendance of church activities by women.
The Covenant Glory Christian Centre mission is to make disciples for our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, from all nations regardless of race, gender or social background. Furthermore, to equip them to bear fruits of the Spirit by the supernatural power of God as they worship freely in Spirit and truth.
