Covering
Nobody should carry the call alone
I've been preaching for thirty-five years. I pastored The Sanctuary for almost twenty-five of them. And I've watched too many good ministers burn out, drift, or fall, with nobody close enough to see it coming.
We don't want that for you.
That's why we cover ministers. You get somebody in your corner. Somebody praying for you. Somebody you can call when it gets heavy, who will tell you the truth and help you carry the weight.
It brings order and accountability to your call. And it takes care of the person carrying it.
Who it's for
Ministers. You know God called you and you're already serving. Maybe you want to be ordained. Maybe you were ordained somewhere else and you're looking for covering now.
Churches and ministries. You lead a work and you want real oversight and a real relationship. Nobody's coming in to take over your house.
What you get
Somebody praying for you by name. Counsel when you need it, and straight answers when you ask. Accountability that protects you and the people you serve. Mentoring while you walk it out.
And a recognized credential from Alliance Ministries.
What we ask
A real, personal faith in Jesus Christ. Character that lines up with the Word, the kind Paul lays out in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. A teachable heart that can receive oversight.
Stay connected, and renew every year. If you work with minors, we'll ask for a background check. That protects them and it protects you.
For churches
Covering a church is spiritual oversight. Prayer, counsel, and accountability.
We don't run your house. Your church keeps its own leadership, its own money, and its own property. We put it in writing, we both sign it, and either of us can end it with written notice.
"Being under Alliance Ministries' covering as a minister has helped shape the fire God placed in me. It brought order, accountability, and strength into my call while caring for the person carrying it."

How it starts
It starts with a conversation. Reach out and tell us your story, where you are in your walk and in your ministry. We'll talk, we'll pray, and we'll see if this is the right fit.
If it is, we'll walk you through the rest one step at a time.
If God is stirring this in you, don't sit on it.
