Jesus and his disciples in the upper room.

Holy Covenant partners with other churches in the Charlotte community to provide Bible study for the men and women who receive lunch & various other services from the uptown Urban Ministry Center, located off Tryon Street. The weekday program, called The Upper Room Ministry, runs from Monday through Friday, 10:30 AM to 11:15 AM. Each partner church staffs the Bible study for one week per quarter or in other words, five days once every three months.

A long-time Holy Covenant member had this to say about her experience:

I had the privilege of leading a Bible study on two different occasions in 2007 and have been blessed much by this outreach. I want to share some insights as a "newbie" and invite others to share their gifts at the Urban Ministry Center in Bible study participation. The only "skills" required are an open heart and a "thought starter" to use at the beginning of the Bible study. Several favorite Bible verses, a song, a story about something important in your life, any perspective that you want to share to begin the conversation is all that is needed. Bringing your Bible to share requested verses is helpful as well. The men and women participating in the Bible study are eager to hear a word of encouragement, meet someone who cares about sharing their time and heart with others, and very grateful for the time shared. So, no special training or experience needed!
