Vision Statement
Covenant Presbyterian Church of Fayetteville, Georgia, sees a need to maintain and enlarge its library for the purpose of supporting the stated mission and vision statements of the Church. This effort will build on the current core collection of books, sustaining and upgrading these resources through the acquisition of materials, new and used, physical and virtual, and setting aside disappointing or unused items on a regular basis to maximize the potential of the available space currently in use. The library will acquire and make available to Covenant Presbyterian Church a broad repertoire of materials designed to serve as resources for our young people, new and seasoned Christians, families, leaders, seminary students, and all others seeking to serve God.
