What We Believe

We’re Biblical

We respect the authority and relevance of the Bible as we seek to understand God’s heart, and apply it to our own.

We’re Devotional

We believe that, because of sin, everyone has missed out on the relationship that God desires with us. But through the grace of Jesus Christ, we can restore that relationship, and pursue a lifetime of ever-deepening faith.

We’re Missional

We believe that God wants lost people found, and hurting people helped—wherever they are.

We’re Connectional

As Christians, we live together graciously, and are mutually committed to unity, respect, humility, and encouragement. We share a bond in Christ that cannot be broken.

A Member of the Evangelical Covenant Church

Founded in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, today the Evangelical Covenant Church is a growing, multi-ethnic, intergenerational mosaic of churches in the US and Canada with ministry partnerships in nearly forty countries. The ECC seeks to form and nurture communities that are deeply committed to Jesus Christ and passionately engaged in Christ’s mission in the world. Together we join in that mission to see more disciples among more populations in a more caring and just world.

For Covenant people, our essential beliefs are summed up in what we call Covenant Affirmations:

Our Affirmations

We affirm the Centrality of the Word of God

We affirm the Necessity of the New Birth.

We affirm a Commitment to the Whole Mission of the Church.

We affirm the Church as a Fellowship of Believers.

We affirm a Conscious Dependence on the Holy Spirit.

We affirm the Reality of Freedom in Christ.
