Who We Are

About Us

Helping Heavenly Father's children gather in His holy temples.

Our Story

How It All Began

Covenant Path Foundation was founded in 2025 with a sacred purpose: to help every willing heart access temple ordinances, regardless of distance or financial circumstance.

We recognized that for members in remote areas or those facing financial hardship, the journey to a temple can feel impossible. Yet the ordinances performed there - baptism, endowment, and family sealing - are essential to Heavenly Father's plan of happiness.

What began as a small group of dedicated individuals has grown into a foundation partnering with local leaders in 2 countries. Our work centers on three pillars: Strategic Planning, Financial Assistance, and Mission Start-Up Support, so no willing heart is left behind on the covenant path.
