What's our vision? Good question...
At Irvington Covenant, we've been undergoing what's called the Vision Pathway* process, where we've been uncovering (and/or re-discovering) our unique identity as a church and identifying how it is that we're called to achieve our calling and mission of glorifying God and making disciples.

We believe in God.
We believe that Jesus was God's son, whom God sent into the world to redeem humanity from lostness.
We believe that Jesus died, was buried, yet resurrected from the dead. This historical demonstration of God's power and a catalyst for hope, in that anyone who believes in and receives Him as Lord can also be free from a life of sin and death.
We believe that another part of God, the Holy Spirit, lives through us and empowers us to live to the fullest.
