Covenant Partnership

Thank you for the opportunity to share how you can become part of one of the greatest young ministries in New York State, Greater Harvest Network of Churches and Ministries is a congregation of various race, gender, and social statues and through our diversity we intend to reach our communities for the Lord Jesus Christ.

It is our mission to minister to each person on his or her level and truly disciple people in the knowledge of God. Provided in this information packet you will learn how to become a Covenant Partner and what will be expected from you upon joining.

Covenant Partnership is one benchmark the leadership can use to determine whether we are accomplishing the church's mission of connecting people to God, one another, and our world.

Followers of Jesus Christ in the New Testament and throughout 2000 years of church history clearly identified themselves with a specific local group of believers and were challenged to become committed participants. Our desire here at GHNCM is to follow that biblical and historical precedent, and Covenant Partnership is our approach to doing that.

Covenant Partnership is an agreement between two people or two groups that involves promise on the part of each to the other. The concept of covenant between God and His people is one of the most important theological truths of the bible. By making a covenant with Abraham, God promised to bless Abraham’s descendants and to make them His special people. Abraham in return, was to remain faithful to God and to serve as a channel through which God’s blessings could flow to the rest of the world. (Genesis 2:1-3)

As a Covenant Partner, you share in the anointing on Bishop Isaiah Mackey life as he keeps you under his Spiritual Covering by praying for you, and your loved ones, and your needs daily. Your part as a Covenant Partner is to be committed to the mission, vision, and values of Your Own Church Mission and Ours That Are Similar.

We are excited that you have considered becoming a Covenant Partner at Greater Harvest Network of Churches and Ministries. May the Lord lead you in your decision.

Government and Structure

GHNCM is unique in many ways. Our structure for ministry is biblical and strategic. The new few paragraphs will explain in a concise manner the structure you can expect at Greater Harvest Network of Churches and Ministries.

The leader of the network is the Lord Jesus Christ. We acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the owner of the church, and the Holy Spirit governs here on Earth. However, God has given us a plan, a blueprint for the spiritual structure and operation of His network. GHNCM functions under the leadership of a Bishop, ours being Presiding Prelate; Bishop Isaiah W. Mackey.

The Bishop is the Senior Leader in the network. The Bishop is responsible for getting before God and receiving vision for the ministry. The Bishop will dedicate himself or herself to prayer and the Word. The chief role of the Senior Leader, Bishop Isaiah W. Mackey, will be to equip the saints for the work of the ministry and implement ministry as the Holy Spirit Leads.
