Mission
Confident in God's hopeful future and grateful for the ever-widening welcome of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the Covenant Network of Presbyterians seeks an equity still not fully realized for LGBTQIA+ people in church and society by engaging, educating, and equipping the church. The Covenant Network of Presbyterians calls the church to bear a unified witness to generous hospitality and faithful justice.
Program accomplishments
- Since our founding in 1997, we have worked for transformation in church and society. In 2025, we continued and expanded that work in new and exciting ways: (1) We inaugurated our new Covenant Fellows program, a cohort-based leadership development initiative designed to equip emerging leaders across the PC(USA) for sustained, effective LGBTQIA+ inclusion ministry. (2) We continued to expand our signature Covenant Conversation program, gathering cross-sections of congregations in partnership with presbyteries, bringing worship, training, and facilitated discussions. (3) We preached and taught in churches all over the country. (4) We produced resources, alone and in partnership with others, for congregations' use in expanding their welcome to people of diverse gender identities, enhancing their worship, and navigating difficult conversations. (5) We supported institutional efforts to seek justice and inclusion in ecclesiastical settings, including work with presbyteries and entities of the General Assembly. (6) We fielded urgent requests and calls for support from pastors, candidates, presbytery leaders, and denominational officials, all seeking our resources, wisdom, and experience.Expenses $111,315
