Ministry of the
Evangelical Covenant Church
The Evangelical Covenant
Church is a denomination of more than six hundred
churches in the United States and Canada. It was founded by Swedish immigrants
in 1885 as a voluntary covenant of churches committed to working together to
share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Covenant churches emphasize the Bible's
witness to new life in Jesus Christ expressed in a day to day walk with the
Lord.
What Is a Covenant Church?
- Evangelical, but not exclusive.
- Biblical, but not doctrinaire.
- Traditional, but not rigid.
- Congregational, but not independent.
The Covenant Mission
We are united by Christ in a holy covenant of
churches empowered by the Holy Spirit to obey the Great Commandments and the
Great Commission:
- ...to love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind;
- ...to love our neighbor as ourselves, and
- ...to go into all the world and make disciples.
