Building Great Churches Together
Churches in Covenant (CIC) International began with a desire to help pastors connect relationally with like-minded peers; learn and develop personally and ministerial, while multiplying the impact of their local church ministry to touch the world. From more than 40 years of thriving ministry experience, Dr. Mike and Kathy Hayes' vision to impart wisdom and practical strategy grew to a network of leaders around the country who have linked arm-in-arm with a common vision to extend the Kingdom of God in every city and sector of society. CIC is NOT a denomination, nor a 'ministry fellowship,' but is a relationship-centered network of churches and ministries united to strengthening the Local Pastor, who will in turn shepherd a great church that will influence cities around the world.
