Vision for Renewal
A Spirit-led Call to New Life and Reimagined Ministry Across the Covenant
Our Vision for Renewal
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.
As a movement of congregations, conferences, and denomination, we are strengthened by prayer, partnership, and a shared mission. Now, as we celebrate 140 years of ministry, we embrace the distinctives that shape our identity—rooted in Scripture, spiritual growth, and hearts of compassion.
