Odesa - Covenant of Grace

About

Odesa’s second church plant, Covenant of Grace started as a mission church in the northern part of the city in 2007. Beginning with a core group of 11 adults and 4 children, there are now around 50 members, though 12 of them are currently refugees outside of Ukraine, and two men are in the Army.

 

Besides the usual church services and ministries, we are devoted to supporting our military guys – friends, neighbors, relatives of our church members – and sharing the Gospel with them. With this 4th winter, russia is hitting the power grid especially hard to try to break our spirit by leaving homes without electricity, water, and heat. The war puts eternity in perspective, and we strive to give people an eternal hope in salvation through Christ alone.
