board of shepherds

The Board of Shepherds at Covenant Church is a group of men and women who provide additional pastoral support for the members, friends and visitors of the church.
  • The Shepherds function as listeners, communicators and initiators of appropriate pastoral action.
  • The Shepherds make calls or send cards to the members of our flocks to congratulate them on their birthday or anniversary.
  • We may provide meals  for those who need this support during times of recovery. 
  • We present a rose to each individual who is baptized. 
  • We provide to the congregation the “Daily Word” which are devotional booklets.
  • We make phone calls, visit and send cards to support those in need.
  • We especially try to keep in contact with shut-ins.  
  • We help with funeral and memorial worship services.  We give support to the grieving family by providing a reception and frequently a meal after the worship service.
  • The Shepherds’ goal is to fulfill our mission statement of “lifting one another through loving and caring relationships for the glory of God.”
The board meets the last Sunday of the month. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a Shepherd, contact the church office at church@wdmcovenant.org.

We Would Love to Have You Visit Soon!
