Covenant

What covenantactually means.

Before you apply, you should know what the relationship gives you, what it asks of you, and how authority and accountability work, including for Apostle Jeremy.

01 / What covenant carries

What the relationshipactually gives you.

Connection is only meaningful when it carries weight in real life. Here is what the relationship is designed to provide.

Counsel

Apostolic perspective

Honest counsel and prayer for the decisions that shape your ministry. Direct counsel for major decisions is part of the Covering track.

Community

Builders at the table

Monthly covenant calls with vetted senior leaders who can speak from the realities of building a local church.

Formation

Tools for the house

Teachings, frameworks, and resources that help form leaders and strengthen presence-driven churches.

Care

Your soul matters

Soul care, prayer, and support when leadership is costly. You should not have to carry a crisis in silence.

Gathering

In the room together

Regional gatherings and an annual conference for worship, teaching, and the kind of relationship that deepens when leaders meet face to face.

Sending

Ordered commissioning

For leaders in the Covering track, a pathway toward commissioning and ordination through recognized relationship and discernment.

02 / Clear authority

Covenantwith clarity.

If you lead a church, you should know exactly what an apostolic relationship means for your authority and your house.

The local church

You lead your house.

Your church retains its legal and operational autonomy. Its finances, staff, and day-to-day decisions remain with its own leadership.

The relationship

We walk with you.

Covering invites direct apostolic counsel, prayer, and accountability for major ministry decisions. Alignment provides covenant community without formal governmental covering.

The commitment

We put it in writing.

Both tracks carry the same commitment: a one-time $150 alignment seed and $150 per month. The expectations and terms for your track are set out in a covenant agreement before you join.

And the questions every leader should ask us

Oversight

Accountability runs upward too.

Apostle Jeremy does not stand outside the covenant he asks you to enter. He is covered by Apostle Yolanda Stith, and any leader in covenant may bring a concern about his conduct directly to her.

When things go wrong

Truth first. Restoration always.

If a leader in covenant is found in moral failure, abuse of authority, or financial misconduct, we respond with truth and care before reputation. Apostle Jeremy and the council of elders hear every matter together. Restoration is the goal, and a season of stepping back may be required.

Access

Covering stays personal.

Apostle Jeremy receives covering relationships only as far as he can truly shepherd them. If that capacity is ever full, we say so honestly and offer Alignment instead.

How we respond when a concern is raised

Step 01

Bring it.

Any leader in covenant may bring a concern to Apostle Jeremy. A concern about Apostle Jeremy goes directly to Apostle Yolanda Stith, who covers him.

Matthew 18:15-17

Step 02

Hear it.

Apostle Jeremy and the council of elders examine the matter together. The leader is heard in person, the facts are tested, and no charge stands on one voice alone.

1 Timothy 5:19

Step 03

Decide it.

They decide together and tell the leader plainly. The outcome may be no finding, correction, a season of stepping back from ministry, or release from covenant. Anyone harmed is protected first, and where the law requires it we report to the proper civil authorities.

Proverbs 28:13

Step 04

Restore it.

Restoration follows a written path: an elder who walks with the leader, care for the leader's household and house, and clear conditions for any return. The council confirms before anyone is restored to ministry.

Galatians 6:1

The path in

We do notrush covenant.

Your inquiry opens a conversation. It does not create a covenant or obligate you to join. A form can start the conversation. Only the conversation can start a covenant.

Apply

Tell us about your church, your leadership, your family, and the relationship you are discerning. The application is thorough on purpose. Your inquiry begins a personal review.

Written · prayerfully reviewed

Be heard

When there is potential alignment, we have a direct conversation with Apostle Jeremy. We ask questions, listen, and discern the relationship together.

30 to 45 minutes · No obligation

Be placed

After prayer and review, leadership recommends a track: Covering, Alignment, or not yet. Not every inquiry becomes a covenant. When the answer is not yet, we tell you why.

An honest answer

Covenant

If alignment is confirmed, you receive the expectations and covenant agreement for your track. Both sides enter with clarity.
