COVENANT CLASSICAL SCHOOL’S 2024-2025 GENEROSITY HIGHLIGHTS
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:34-35).
We are grateful to be part of a school community known for love. Whether it’s friends giggling, fans cheering on the home team, parents or grandparents serving joyfully, an advisory group praying together, colleagues laughing during lunch, a coach praying with a team, or a teacher shepherding a classroom of students, our community loves and serves one another well.
Giving is another way our community expresses its love for our mission, and we are grateful for the generosity that has allowed us to invest in several campus and programmatic enhancements this year. As you look through these pages, please join us in rejoicing and giving thanks for the impact of this generosity and for the Lord’s continued provison.
As we seek to continually align our lives and our school with the reality that Christ is preeminent in all things, please prayerfully consider participating in The Covenant Fund this year. Whether you are continuing to give or giving for the first time, it makes a meaningful difference as we give together and grow together. one another Covenant
