← View 2026 ConferenceRecovering Biblical Order
In October 2025, Covenant Presbyterian Church hosted the inaugural God Keep Our Land Conference, welcoming attendees from across the region to explore the critical issue of feminism’s influence in our culture.
The event targeted how we must recognize and resist the cultural pressures that seek to dismantle biblical order, and how we can faithfully stand for the true and valuable jurisdictions God has designated for men and women in the home, the church, and the civic square.
The Three Spheres
Order, Authority, and Domain
God has established three distinct governments, each sovereign within its own boundary. True resistance to cultural decay begins with restoring order in each sphere.
Family
The Covenant Nucleus
The foundational block of community where faith is modeled, covenantal legacy is established, and children are nurtured in the fear of the Lord.
Church
The Household of Faith
The local body gathered around Word and Sacrament, where saints are discipled, the weak are supported, and covenant community is lived out.
State
The Civic Boundary
The civil government ordained by God to maintain justice and civic peace, allowing the church to live quiet and godly lives.
