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 God’s kingdom through a prayerful, multiethnic, intergenerational movement of churches, served by women and men striving to love and follow in the way of Jesus by loving our neighbors 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.

Stories & News

The Companion Is the Covenant’s Magazine

As the denominational magazine of the Evangelical Covenant Church, The Covenant Companion shares stories and voices that connect, inform, and inspire readers to engage with the mission of the Covenant Church.

A Light That Lingers

This past weekend, Rev. Dr. C. John Weborg passed away. A longtime Covenant theologian, pastor, and teacher, he shaped the denomination’s theological life for decades through his writing, teaching, and leadership. We share this reflection by Ellen Kogstad, who writes from within the spiritual formation work he helped shape, bearing witness to a life whose influence continues to linger.

Jotham and the Joy of Steady Faith

In this third week of Advent, Jotham’s leadership and Marie’s story from DR Congo reveal how joy grows through resilience. This reflection invites us to see joy as the quiet strength that helps communities stand again.

Formation at a Snail’s Pace

In a candlelit circle shaped by slow creativity and unexpected community, teaching pastor Jessica Fisk reflects on how God forms us through both abiding and going, shaping faith in quiet, surprising ways.

Ruth and the Courage to Remain

In the second week of Advent, we see Ruth standing at a crossroads between safety and faith, choosing loyalty over certainty. Her story invites us to see how peace is formed through courage, commitment, and God moving in unfamiliar places.

Resources

A variety of resources for ministry in the Evangelical Covenant Church have been created and curated by and for local churches and ministry leaders.

Across the Evangelical Covenant Church, events join us together in corporate worship, challenge us through active learning experiences, equip us to grow, and build and strengthen relationships.

Prior to moving to the USA, I was a professor at the National University of Colombia and served with the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students in Colombia for 16 years. Starting in 2001, I served as InterVarsity National Staff in the USA. I have a master’s degree in Christian Ministries, and I serve in Spiritual Direction to those who want to be fully present and available to God and receive His grace over them. My joy is to see professors and college students coming to know Jesus and being transformed into people that bring the good news of righteousness and justice to others.
