Chesapeake Covenant Congregations Faith and the Chesapeake Bay Chesapeake Covenant Congregations take seriously God's call to be stewards of creation, particularly the Chesapeake Bay. Churches enter into covenant with God to cherish the Earth and practice good stewardship through actions such as conservation landscaping practices and energy efficiency in houses of worship. Churches for the Chesapeake help congregations with educational, action, and worship resources so that the faith community can be actively engaged in protecting the Chesapeake Bay.
