Community Engagement

Our church engages in ministries of compassion and justice that can bring healing and reconciliation to a broken world. As we serve and get to know vulnerable individuals and families in our neighborhood, we also seek to be advocates that shape systems and to partner with local and global organizations to care for the hungry and oppressed people of our world. Some of our ongoing compassion, mercy, and justice work and organizational partnerships are listed below.

Local Ministries

  • Community Breakfast - Every Saturday morning we prepare a hot breakfast in our Fellowship Hall for those in need in our community.

  • Food Collection - Throughout the year, we collect food to give to the St. Mary’s Food Pantry

  • Sock Drive - Each year around the holidays, we collect new socks for the Operation Nightwatch sock drive.

  • Alcoholics Anonymous - Four different groups meet weekly at our church.

Global Ministries

  • Missionary Support - First Covenant Seattle specifically supports four missionary families in the areas of Asia and Latin America and in the country of Japan. On occasion, we take trips to experience and partner with these friends on their mission fields.

  • Sharing the Harvest - Each fall we sell $10 bags of apples. Money raised through Sharing the Harvest goes to support The Center for Experimentation and Training in Agriculture in the Central African Republic.

  • Covenant World Relief and Development - CWRD is the development and disaster response organization of our denomination. We support CWR through targeted giving for specific projects, occasional work trips, and a month long emphasis of and offering to CWRD on occasion.
