Who
We Are
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.
