Make & Deepen Disciples
We foster discipleship through resources, events, and generational ministries.
A disciple is someone who follows Jesus, is transformed by Jesus, and is on mission with Jesus. The Evangelical Covenant Church aims to mobilize a multiethnic movement of disciples who make disciples across all ages.

Our Generational Ministries
Children
A child who encounters formational resources to learn about Jesus at an early age is more likely to be a lifelong disciple. Because this age is so critical, we equip churches with discipleship materials for children that is focused on worship, Scripture, creation care, justice, evangelism, and more.

Youth
The next generation is not like the previous one. To reach new generations of disciples, we help local churches by creating resources and events specifically designed for young people, with materials and experiences that inspire and equip youth leaders.

There are a number of Covenant programs and experiences aimed at nurturing the faith and character of Christian disciples. These include Alaska Christian College, Acts 29, Solid Rock Discipleship, and CRUX at North Park University.

How We Support Discipleship
Evangelism
We support evangelism in the local church primarily through BLESS, a holistic approach to disciple making that is comprised of five missional practices: Begin with Prayer, Listen with Care, Eat Together, Serve in Love, and Share the Story.
Spiritual Formation
Bible Engagement
As People of the Book, we equip disciples to read, study, and understand the Bible through Immerse: The Reading Bible, a six-volume, specially formatted Bible created with one goal in mind: to provide an accessible and engaging opportunity to study the Bible.
Covenant Identity
Women's Discipleship
Antiracism Discipleship
In partnership with Love Mercy Do Justice, we promote antiracism through discipleship-based resources such as Antiracist Discipleship: Follow Jesus, Dismantle Racism, and Build Beloved Community. More antiracism discipleship resources for churches are coming soon.
Human Sexuality Discipleship
We aim to promote and provide a healthy dialogue around sexual discipleship. Through our Embrace ministry, learn more about a variety of topics related to faith, gender, and sexuality.
