• Friendship Place is the Covenant Enabling Residence for adults with developmental disabilities to be built on land our church donated.  Covenant Enabling Residences offer a Christian alternative.  Open to all, Covenant Enabling Residences offer a lifestyle grounded on biblically-based Christian values and standards.  Enabling Residences promote independence, security and a fulfilling lifestyle for those with developmental disabilities.

• Fulfilling the vision of the Covenant Women Ministries, the first Covenant residence for adults with developmental disabilities opened in Illinois in 1994.  This vision was shared by local Covenant congregations and has grown to include five Covenant Enabling Residences in three states.  The residences operate independently under the auspices of Covenant Ministries of Benevolence, the outreach ministry of the church.  Each residence ensures that its residents receive the support, training and encouragement they need to become contributing members of the community.
