Covenant Church

What Covenant Church does

Covenant Church is a 501(c)-style non-profit Christian religious organization founded in 1976 and headquartered in Carrollton, Texas, with a second campus in McKinney. It operates as a multi-campus megachurch serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, with 325 employees and a comprehensive ministry portfolio that spans every life stage — nursery through seniors — including dedicated programs for children (Covenant Kids with a Champions Club for special needs), youth (6th-12th grade), young adults, men (The Return retreat), women (The Well retreat), marriages (the 17-week ReNew program), small groups, Freedom Groups (a 12-week discipleship track), and crisis support.

The church's technology stack centers on the proprietary CovLive mobile application, available across iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, and Fire TV, which provides live streaming of services, digital giving, and event registration. Operations are supported by Pushpay (campus-segmented online giving), Church Center (event and small-group registration), and SMS keyword funnels. The Learning Center, an early childhood education subsidiary, extends the product surface into paid preschool and childcare. Distribution is dual-channel: two physical campuses with identical weekend and Wednesday service schedules, plus a global digital streaming reach reinforced by YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.

The revenue model is donation-driven (tithes, offerings, and above-tithe Legacy Team contributions) with ancillary fee income from specialized programs (ReNew $95/couple, Freedom Groups $30-50) and tuition from The Learning Center. Global missions are funded through a network of 10+ international ministry partnerships, and local community care is delivered via a referral network of 15+ vetted counseling, food, housing, and recovery partners. Leadership is provided by 10 pastoral couples/individuals, with Lead Pastors Stacey & Amie Dockery and founding pastors Mike & Kathy Hayes still active on the teaching team.
