The heart of the Evangelical Covenant Church - what we
care about most, who we are at our core - can best be
described as follows.
We believe those things that Christians have always
believed...
- that God is our Creator and Loving Father
- that Jesus, His Son, came to be our Savior and show
us life at its best
- that the Holy Spirit is at work in the world and
church
- that to love God and others are the most important
pursuits in life
- that we are separated from God by sin and need to
experience a spiritual rebirth to live forever as His
child
- that we share our new life in Christ with neighbors,
family and friends
We take the Bible seriously
The Bible is like no other book. It is completely true. It
teaches us about God,ourselves, and how life is to be
lived.
We find joy in the freedom we have in Christ
We are firmly committed to the core of Christian faith as
clearly revealed in the Bible. At the same time, we
celebrate an atmosphere of freedom in respect to matters of
interpretation and practice within Biblical guidelines. As a
result, Christians from a variety of church backgrounds and
individuals new to the Christian faith are to be found in
Covenant Churches. We sense a rightness in being a church
that is based in the essentials of the Christian life, not
the non-essentials.
We are glad to be linked to other Covenant Churches
Through our common ministry, we are able to serve our
communities and world in a way that would never happen if we
were a local church alone. We find that those who learn
about our local and global ministry become excited about
what God is doing through our mission to youth, seniors,
families, and singles. For information about our parent
organization, the Evangelical Covenant Church, located in
