Description of Organization

Christ Covenant is a church that seeks to be uncompromising in truth and unwavering in love. Our mission is to reach and equip people of all ages to know the truth, love Jesus and one another, and serve people everywhere.

Our goal for the church planter in residence is to get two-three years of experience with our church, build a core group from within the church and local community, and plant a church in the Knoxville-area. The Tennessee Valley Presbytery's Church Planting Committee will also play an integral role in supporting the planter and his family.

Christ Covenant will provide a base salary with benefits based on experience. The Church Planter in Residence will be expected to raise some extra money for future plant and potential salary increase.
