The Evangelical Covenant Church honored clergy with “Lifetime Service Recognition” awards today at the 135th Annual Meeting. With so many ministers and missionaries who continue to serve in various capacities of ministry, the Covenant honors all clergy when they reach 65.

Delegates to the 135th Annual Meeting elected members to various boards during today’s business session.

In his address to delegates of the 135th Annual Meeting, President John Wenrich lamented the ravages of Covid-19, praised the innovation of individuals and congregation amid the pandemic, and called on Covenanters to continue to minister in new ways.

Sixteen churches from seven conferences were welcomed into membership today at the 135th Annual Meeting of the Evangelical Covenant Church.
