Covenant's Covina Sub-Office
Located at: 438 1st. St, Covina, CA 91723
Phone: 626.966.4488
Facility #197805318
Recently, in
an agreement with the Covina Assembly of God, Covenant has
opened a sub-office in Covina, CA. This office will come under
the Covenant's licensure and will replicate programs offered in
Bakersfield. Covina's programming will include: foster care,
mentoring and Royal Family Kids’ Camp.
The road to developing a
sub-office in Covina began because
Pastor John
Johnson of Covina Assembly has a heart for the fatherless.
He is a foster parent and desires to see God's Word found in
James 1:27 ("...to look after orphans and widows in their
distress...") fulfilled in his church and community.
As a result of both the vision of Pastor John and Covenant CEO
Randy Martin, Covina is well on its way to becoming the avenue
for providing hope and love to abused and neglected children.
On September 12th 2007, the Covina office passed the Licensing
visit and we are now awaiting our paper licenses to begin
recruiting foster families.
Covenant
is a
Christ-based, nonprofit foster family agency licensed by the
State of California.
CCSI
recruit, train and certify foster families to provide safe,
stable and loving homes for children to develop and grow in
God’s love and grace. The
Jeremiah
Mentoring Project
matches a foster child with a caring adult who can provide
friendship, guidance and support during the critical transition
from child to adult. Many of the youth in the foster care
system are in need of positive role models who will help them
achieve their full potential. Royal Family Kids’ Camp (RFKC)
is a one-week summer camp especially designed for foster
children. The camping experience is created for the child’s
success as the ultimate goal. RFKC utilizes camping strategies
and “best practices” in social services while recognizing the
needs of abused, neglected and abandoned children. The
activities at camp are non-competitive, non-threatening and fun.
