Covenant Children’s Ministries
Our mission: “To show the love and hope of Jesus Christ by supporting tangible services that meet the needs of the underserved children, young adults and their families.”
Covenant Children’s Ministries (CCM) was established in 1921 as Covenant Children’s Home and Family Services, by the Central Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church, to provide a caring home for children who had lost a parent, or whose parents were unable to care for them. Today the Mission of Covenant Children’s Ministries remains the same, namely “to show the love of Jesus Christ to children in need,” as it honors the legacy of Christian hope and caring began over 100 years ago.
CCM no longer houses at risk children or facilitates adoptions. However, through the generosity of many faithful people and with the proceeds of the property sale in Princeton, IL (where the orphanage once stood), CCM continues to facilitate various grant and scholarship programs reflective of its initial mission. Grants and scholarships for at-risk students, or students facing difficult socio-economic circumstances, have assisted attendance at the following organizations:
- Covenant Harbor or Covenant Point Bible Camps (via Harbor Point Ministries)
- Alaska Christian College
- Amundsen Educational Center
- North Park University
- Additionally, funds have been disbursed through Serve Globally to assist the Children’s Center in Mumbai, India
