Join us as we celebrate 25 years!

Thursday, October 24th, 6:00-10:00pm | Magnetic South, 516 N Main Street

GOOD FOOD, LIVE MUSIC, GREAT FELLOWSHIP!

The life of Israel was built around sacred feasts – great invitations for God's covenant community to come together around full tables and remember the faithfulness of the Lord. Regardless of the times – famine, plague, and war or provision, prosperity, and peace, God's people would gather and remember the Lord's promise that He is at work making all things new. New Covenant School is built around this mission, and Convivium – meaning banquet, feast, or gathering – is our annual event where we gather with old and new friends to celebrate this deeper truth.

This year’s inaugural Convivium is a special celebration of the Lord’s faithfulness for the past 25 years but also for the work He continues to do as we step forward in faith.

We hope you will join us this year! Consider this time a foretaste of that Great Convivium we will one day enjoy, sitting at the table together, face to face with our Lord and King toasting to the completed mission of the restoration of the whole world.

All contributions through Convivium support New Covenant School’s annual fund – the Covenant Fund – which raises critical dollars to support our mission above and beyond that which tuition and fees cover. This year’s goal is $125,000 and 100% participation!

A New Covenant education has a lasting impact…

A good way into college, I can’t help but acknowledge the significant foundation and advantage New Covenant has given me. It is a comparatively rigorous education and is modeled on quite a well-tested, classical tradition. However, my years at New Covenant did something more for me than prepare me for entering college and the workforce, give me the right, Christian answers, or even shield me from pagan, cultural influences – it led me to a personal encounter with the Lord of all things. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; God formed everything by himself and for himself; Scripture is the ultimate authority for all learning; God’s way is the only one that leads to life – each year my teachers and our studies pressed those truths upon my heart more and more until they were inescapable. We weren’t forced to choose it or to believe it or to love it – that never works. But I thank God that my parents sent me to a school where all these things were asserted. And I could not have received a more sure footing – for college or career, for relationships, for life.

What’s our goal?

We have two!

Goal #1

$125,000

Our monetary goal is always determined by “the gap” – the difference between true cost to run the school and tuition revenue.

This year that gap is $125,000.

Goal #2

100% Participation!

Each year, every board member, employee, and family will be asked to prayerfully consider joining us in support of our mission through the Covenant Fund. The goal will always be the same…100% participation for each constituent group.

Remember…it’s not equal gifts but equal sacrifice!

Boost your House to victory!

We’re planning to have a little fun this year! The house with the most gifts allocated to their house team – not the highest amount raised – will win…

  • 3 dress down days

  • A pizza party for the entire house

Note: Each family's total giving will be counted as one gift, whether it's given in a single lump sum or across multiple transactions.
