ADD YOUR PIECE TO THE COVENANT SERVANT CHEST

The Covenant Servant Chest is our shared collection of family history, old records, photographs, songs, oral traditions, church materials, maps, documents, and discoveries.

Anything that may be a clue to who you are biblically.

Your family may be holding something that helps preserve a name, story, place, tradition, or memory that traces you back to Israel.

You do not have to be a historian to prove you are an Israelite.

You only have to share what your family has preserved.

Every submission will be reviewed before it is added to the Chest.
