Do you carry a passion for more Covenant churches to be located in each of our six states? Does your church have vision for giving birth to other churches? Has the Holy Spirit prompted you to share your resources with a church plant that is just starting? Is the Covenant identity as alf your church strong enough to provide orientation for our new church adoptions? Conference Expansion is the topic of our Southeast Conference Vision Conversation on Tuesday, June 2nd at 7:00 pm ET. We invite each church to pray about how they can be involved in our conference expansion movement.

Dr. Gilliard had a wonderful time preaching at Silverhill Covenant Church in Silverhill, Alabama. This awesome congregation is filled with leaders who continue to serve and lead our Southeast Conference ministries. During the worship service she presented Pastor Jesse Adams with a plaque of appreciation and gratitude on behalf of our Southeast Conference churches. It was a beautiful service filled with members whose family were attending when they were born and now as adults they are raising their children there. So thankful for the witness and leadership of Pastor Jesse and his wife Karen. True servants of God surrounded by the beautiful saints of God! Grateful for the impact of this church in their community.
