The next evening, a group of twelve intercessors spontaneously met to experience the unusual pouring out of power and the glory of God. They then returned Tuesday evening for more intercession and basking in the Lord's presence. The people in the body began experiencing the power of God in their everyday lives-at work, home or even in the bed at night. Clearly something fresh was occurring. This small band of eight to twelve intercessors continued to meet every Monday and Tuesday evening for intercession, worship and tarrying in the presence and glory of the Lord. Soon the group expanded to thirty; Monday and Tuesday evenings became regular revival/renewal services. Our current schedule includes regular Friday Night Renewal services.

Pastors, intercessors, relatives and friends have come in from all over South Florida, from other parts of this nation and from around the world to experience a touch from the Lord. A strong impartation occurs regularly in the meetings. Those who receive ministry during the celebrations and services report great refreshing, a return to their first love for the Lord, healings—both physical and emotional—and a call to deeper intercessory prayer. Repentance, conviction and an awareness of sin are also characteristic for those who open themselves to the presence of the Lord at Covenant. People's lives are being changed and transformed. Individuals who have run from God their whole lives are surrendering at the altar. People's petitions for themselves and for loved ones are being answered very quickly as well.

God has opened the heavens and there is a grace anointing over Covenant Centre. Those who enter are refreshed, transformed and restored. The fire of God and power of God not only continues sustained but also increases. Miracles continue to occur. We desire more, more, more of God. Come experience the refreshing of the Lord and revival fire in your life at Covenant.

1. We believe in one God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally subsisting in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To Him be all honor, glory and praise forever!
   
2. Jesus Christ, the living Word, became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. He Who is true God became true man united in one Person forever. He died on the cross a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. On the third day He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He now is our High Priest and Mediator.
   
3. The Holy Spirit has come to glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to our hearts. He convicts us of sin and draws us to the Savior. Indwelling our hearts, He gives new life to us, empowers and imparts gifts to us for service, instructs and guides us into all truth, and seals us for the day of redemption.
   
4. Being estranged from God and condemned by our sinfulness, our salvation is wholly dependent upon the work of God's free grace. God credits His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, thereby justifying them in His sight. Only such as are born of the Holy Spirit and receive Jesus Christ become children of God and heirs of eternal life.
   
5. The true Church is composed of all persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, are united together in the body of Christ. The Church finds her visible, yet imperfect, expression in local congregations where Jesus Christ is celebrated as Lord and Head of His Church, the Word of God is preached in its purity, the sacraments are administered in their integrity, scriptural discipline is practiced, and loving fellowship is maintained. For her perfecting, she awaits the return of her Lord.
   
6. Jesus Christ will come again to the earth, personally, visibly, and bodily, to judge the living and the dead, and to consummate history and the eternal plan of God. "Even so, come, Lord Jesus." (Revelation 22:20)
   
7. The Lord Jesus Christ commands all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to make disciples of all peoples. Obedience to the Great Commission requires total commitment to "Him who loved us and gave Himself for us." He calls us to a life of self-denying love and service. "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." (Ephesians 2:1

In these Essentials we must have unity. In those issues not essential to the establishment of the Church invisible we have liberty. And in all things we must always have love.

1. We are a celebrating people. We reflect the light of Christ and give vibrant praise and worship to the most Holy One. We must continually develop ways to express our adoration, praise, and thanksgiving for all that God has done for us. Worship must be a reflection of our relationship to God and our service to Him.
   
2. We are enriching people. We help people grow up in Christ. We faithfully mentor all who come into relationship with Jesus. We facilitate spiritual growth and development through practical teachings for real life by real people from a real God. We need to know and understand what the Scriptures teach. The Scriptures, through the Holy Spirit, provide the models and the guidelines for our lives and ministry. We are an equipping center. We are training and activating the people of God for service.
   
3. We are community. We are people connected together through whole (holy) relationships. We are caregivers and nurturers. We provide a loving, sensitive, supportive and healing environment through relationships.
   
4. We are sharing people. We give Christ to others by boldly proclaiming God's rule with the passion of the Father's love. We are people who "go forth." We are active in sending forth laborers into the harvest both here and around the world. We believe in aggressive service in our city and beyond.

Our Church Family Lives by Practical Principles:

3. Practical teachings characterized by real life application and immediate usefulness; allowing God's word to speak to us at our point of need.
   
4. Reflective accountability; recognizing what God is doing and do it; honor each person's unique giftedness and practice mutuality.
