Covenant Presbyterian Church, an urban residential congregation in Kansas City has a mission. We feed people. Period. We serve people in a dignified, caring and just matter. Jesus didnât ask for two forms of ID, one could be a water bill. Jesus didnât say, âYouâre in the wrong zip code, you need to go to that zip code.â Jesus didnât say, âDidnât you come here last week looking for food?â Jesus didnât say, âYou didnât meet our income requirements.â Jesus just said feed my people. So, we do.
