OUTREACH MINISTRIES WITHIN OUR WALLS
The following are organizations that serve the community and offer their services from within Covenant's building:
- Safety Net
A ministry of a network of local churches to help people who other agencies cannot help. Infant and supplemental food, rent, prescriptions, eyeglasses, furniture, and moving assistance are provided if possible. This program helps people who have fallen "through the cracks."

- Habitat for Humanity : Lackawanna County Affiliate
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, nondenominational Christian housing organization. Since 1976, Habitat has built more than 175,000 houses, providing shelter for nearly 900,000 people worldwide. Now at work in 100 countries, we are building a house every 26 minutes. By 2005, Habitat houses will be sheltering 1 million people. Local Habitat affiliates coordinate house building and select partner families.
