The Evangelical Covenant Church of Canada has begun the process of nominating its next president/superintendent.

The Evangelical Covenant Church of Canada, a denomination in Canada and a regional conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church, is a community of churches in covenant with God and one another. The president/superintendent sets the vision and pace for the conference. Working with leaders in the Covenant, the conference, and local churches, the president/superintendent plays a key role in the ministry throughout the region.

The Canada Covenant Leadership Board, serving as the presidential search committee, plans to present one nominee to the Annual General Meeting of the Canada Covenant for election in May 2025. “We are so encouraged by the process and ministry growth that has taken place in our conference, and we are eager to see how God will lead in this process to bring about continuing fruit and growth of ministry in the future,” says Jenell Pluim, chair of the search committee.
