Deeper Reflection
Covenant EFC will be celebrating her 45th year this Sunday! Praise the Lord! This church is about Jesus – who He is and what He has done to redeem sinners like us. We praise God for all the blessings He has graciously poured out on us, and for what He is going to do in and through us in the coming years! Our mission continues to be: Returning the Church to its disciplemaking roots through authentic discipleship and intentional disciplemaking, so as to reproduce disciples of a certain kind and to multiply them to win the world for Christ.Our story has been about spiritual multiplication in Singapore and other nations! In 1978, there were only 17 members seeking to reach one local area with the Gospel.¹ Throughout our 45-year history, by the Lord’s grace, many people have been saved, discipled and transformed from the inside out. Many Covenanters have grown spiritually as they pursued godliness in living life with reference and deference to God. We continue to hold closely our values of Truth centred upon the Word of God, Community centred upon the Worship of God, Stewardship centred upon the Will of God, Balance centred upon the Wisdom of God and Brokenness centred upon the Way of God.Looking back, there have been various moments and memories – celebration, laughter, tears, mourning, exuberant praise, heartfelt worship, making mistakes and learning from them, confession, intense prayer, fundraising, community blessing and much more. Through it all, God has been faithful and good to us! Let us celebrate the past, and by faith embrace a magnificent future in the Lord together!
