+ History

Dr. Joseph Mattera has been involved in full time ministry since 1980. His ministry has encompassed both the New York City region and many different nations. Beginning in November 1999, the Lord started putting inside of him a burden to start a coalition that had a vision for the Kingdom of God and cities. He has since received much confirmation by the affirmation of key spiritual leaders and numerous prophetic words.

In January of 2000, Dr. Mattera asked Bishop Roderick Caesar to partner with him in the formation of this coalition. Bishop Caesar oversees a church that has, been a model for reconciliation and effective urban ministry. He has worked closely with Dr. Mattera for many years. Together they are going forward with this vision and passion to reach cities and regions with the gospel of the Kingdom of God.

+ Purpose

“City Covenant Coalition” is a network (nexus) of “ascension gift” ministers and ministries that come together in covenant to transform cities and impact the nations with the “gospel of the Kingdom of God”.

+ Vision

We will come together for Kingdom purposes to:

1. Strengthen and affirm each member (through relational development).
2. Strengthen and establish the local church (through equipping by Ascension gift ministries).
3. Help establish churches and ministries (through an emphasis on reproduction).
4. Help establish the “city church in various regions” (through covenant partnerships).
5. Working with key spiritual leaders and other coalitions (or networks) to identify and establish and strengthen apostolic ministry in cities nationally and internationally.
