Mission & Vision
We join God in God’s mission to see more disciples among more populations in a more caring and just world
The Evangelical Covenant Church envisions living into the kingdom of God through the prayerful, intergenerational, multiethnic, growing movement of churches served by women and men striving to follow in the way of Jesus by loving others as Jesus loves us.
We strengthen the community of vocational ministers through advocacy, endorsement, credentialing, care, and formation.
Serve Locally
We start, empower, and equip churches to grow as communities of disciples who make disciples, fostering justice and compassion to uplift and serve those around them.
We join the global Church through global partnerships and sending global personnel to engage in God’s mission across cultures and around the world.
