Ministry with Genesis Project
This is the Retreat Center on the south edge of the campus of Covenant Theological Seminary about five minutes from Rivendell (the campus coffee house).
The lower floor of the Retreat Center which you can see above is where we live and cook and meet often with students, pastors groups, visitors to campus, staff friends and faculty.
You can browse some additional pics of the center in the Gallery of Ministry Center Photos.
We have enjoyed deep relationships while we’ve served among the community here. In particular we’ve walked with a band of friends, praying and creating a plan, strategizing about how ministry could be done as a team in ways that fit the times. It has been a fruitful time of learning, growing and exploring possibilities. We are discovering new possibilities for putting that process to use...in God’s timing and in his way.
We love being here and being involved with this community. We’re grateful for the opportunity to give of our gifts. It is also fun to be a “case study” for church planting, pastoral and mission issues.
