Our Purpose & Legacy
The Covenant Circle exists to unite influential believers in politics, business, and culture—cultivating personal relationships that steer society toward Christian morality. With roots in a 1930s prayer fellowship, we protect and empower leaders willing to stand for biblical principles — especially around traditional family values.
Faith at the Forefront:
We trust that God empowers us to shape laws, policies, and cultural norms, quietly fostering Christian ethics in every corner of civic life.
Protecting the Faithful:
Members discreetly rally resources—financial, legal, media—to shield those who face unjust backlash for speaking biblical truth.
Championing Family:
From supporting LionHeart Family Institute to endorsing the Trinity Christian Research Alliance, we believe stable, Christian-centered families are the backbone of a thriving society.

Leadership Personas: Our Public-Facing Council
While hundreds of members operate in near-total anonymity, The Covenant Circle maintains a four-person Public Council for media, political, and business outreach. These individuals are independently wealthy, unafraid of institutional pressure, and dedicated to amplifying the Alliance’s core message.
Ms. Harriet Lamberton – Director of Political Relations
Profile: Harriet Lamberton is a seasoned policy strategist who spent 15 years on Capitol Hill in advisory roles. Post-government, she built a private consultancy assisting pro-family Christian lobby groups.
Independence: After a successful strategic consulting exit, Harriet is financially self-sufficient. This independence frees her from any reliance on major party donors or academic endowments.
Role: She coordinates discreet political outreach, leveraging her network of congressional contacts to foster faith-friendly legislation and offer quiet support for Christian lawmakers under fire.

Public Statements & Media Releases
Because of our covert nature, official media appearances are rare. However, when the Council deems it necessary, they issue statements that resonate with top-tier outlets:
Crucial Advocacy
Declaring unwavering support for Dr. Grimani if mainstream voices try to shut down “controversial” Christian family research.
Policy Recommendations
Subtle endorsements of bills that preserve religious liberty or protect parental rights.
Cultural Commentary
Reflecting on moral crises in society, reaffirming the biblical standard for marriage, children, and public discourse.
“When the faithful are threatened with silence, The Covenant Circle’s voice counters the noise with absolute conviction.”

Why Secrecy?
Proactive Defense:
In an era where outspoken Christian views can invite legal or reputational attacks, privacy allows The Covenant Circle to quietly push for righteous outcomes without exposing vulnerable allies.
Preserving Influence:
Without the spotlight, wealthy members retain their global ties and can connect with world leaders informally.
Spiritual Integrity:
Instead of announcing accomplishments, The Covenant Circle fosters a spirit of humility, reinforcing that God, not man, is the ultimate orchestrator.
Invitation-Only Access
-
Prospective members or donors are nominated through existing relationships; they must demonstrate a life anchored in biblical faith and a track record of championing moral principles.

No public membership directory or annual gala is advertised. Contact details remain minimal.
Vetting & Engagement

Confidential Onboarding: Short vetting interviews with Harriet Lamberton or Ms. Caldwell, combined with references from two established members, confirm alignment with Christian convictions.

Discreet Engagement: Accepted individuals gain entry to private fellowship gatherings—prayer breakfasts, off-the-record leadership summits—arranged regionally and internationally.
Please note: Membership acceptance is highly selective.
Closing Statement & Contact
The Covenant Circle merges quiet fellowship, deep spiritual conviction, and unparalleled relational outreach to guide Christian ethics back into the heart of governance, business, and academic research. Amid a culture that often treats biblical conviction as a liability, we cultivate an invisible fortress that nurtures and protects God’s faithful servants—especially those championing family and marriage as the bedrock of society.
“We answer not to headlines, but to a Higher Calling. In building lifelong alliances—across corridors of power, philanthropic boardrooms, and pastoral networks—we steadily uphold the timeless principle: Christian families hold nations together.”
