A Spirit-led Call to New Life and Reimagined Ministry Across the Covenant
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.
Isaiah 43:19

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.
