Covenant House Faith Community

Mission Statement

As members of Covenant House Faith Community, we put the values of absolute respect and unconditional love into action through the opportunities of service, community, and prayer/reflection. We believe that with service comes sacrifice, and we offer ourselves to Covenant House with a willingness to serve wherever the need is greatest. We strive to make a difference in the lives of the homeless, runaway, and at-risk youth of Covenant House, as well as being a source of joy and encouragement to our fellow staff. Living in a diverse community, we share ourselves and support one another during our journey together. We embrace the challenge of living simple, respectful, and healthy lives. The opportunity for daily personal and communal prayer/reflection encourages us to grow spiritually, and we welcome people of all or no faith backgrounds and religious traditions. Through our Faith Community experience, we hope to reflect God?s love to all those we encounter.
