Vision:
It is our Vision to bring our youth to Christ,
to ground them in the ways of the Lord while they live with us,
to educate them and have them graduate with a GED,
so that they will be successful members of society.

Goals:
Educate the Youth • Build a Church
Build a School • Build a Residence

Education: The greatest need that we have identified for those we minister to (other than salvation) is in the area of education.
Over 90% of the people we serve have not completed even a basic high school education.It then becomes impossible for them to get a good enough job to support themselves much less a family in the future.
It is our GOAL to start a Christian Alternative School. This school would have no more than 25 students per class and would concentrate on students receiving a GED. This would not however be just another GED class. Students would also be required to complete training in basic Bible Study, Christian life skills, and Christ centered self-esteem.
Again the Three R's we have mentioned before. A GED will not of course lead to a good job, but it will be a first step leading to further education through technical training or even college. These young people have basically no confidence so getting a GED would be a great launching point to something better.
The pictures you see on this page and the following page are of land that we would like to purchase for our school, church and residence. When we looked at it we immediately knew it would be perfect but when we heard the asking price we just laughed and said 'no way!' Never say ' no way' to determined young people. On the next page you will see a plan advanced by our youth to purchase the property. Read it carefully. Then pray about it. If after praying about it you want to help please do so. God Bless You!
These teens and young adults are motivated and under God they will succeed. New Covenant Community Church is incorporated under our original name of Covenant Baptist Church (the ministry name was changed due to an independent Baptist Church under the same name in the near area.)
We are a member of the Tulsa Metro Baptist Association, The Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma, and The Southern Baptist Convention. All gifts are tax deductible. This ministry was first started in December of 1999 and has existed in its present form since 2004.
