The Evangelical Covenant Church, in order to accomplish its mission and purposes, has formulated and adopted this Constitution and Bylaws. The Constitution recognizes that the highest constituted authority of the Evangelical Covenant Church is the convention of delegates known as the Annual Meeting, which alone can adopt and amend the Constitution and Bylaws. The Evangelical Covenant Church shall be governed by this Constitution and Bylaws, its Articles of Incorporation, and all applicable laws.
The Constitution and Bylaws of the Evangelical Covenant Church and the Rules for the Ordered Ministry were most recently revised at the 138th Annual Meeting in Covington, Kentucky, in June 2024.
