aboutus

We are part of the Evangelical Covenant Church denomination in the United States and Canada with ministries on five continents of the world. 

Founded in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, the ECC values the Bible as the Word of God, the gift of God's grace and an ever-deepening spiritual life that comes through a faith with Jesus Christ. 

We embrace the importance of extending God's love and compassion to a hurting world, and the strength that comes from unity within diversity.

We are united by Christ in a holy covenant of churches, empowered by the Holy Spirit to obey the great commandments and the great commission:

  • to love God with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind,

  • to love our neighbors as ourselves,

  • and to go into all the world and make disciples.

We are committed to reach people with new life in Christ, and then to help them grow deeper in Christ. 

A lifelong journey of faith.

We are committed to pursuing compassion and justice through our world.

From our inception the Covenant has been concerned with helping hurting people (love mercy), and addressing the causes of that hurt (do justice).  

We covenant:

  • to cultivate communities of worship committed to:

    • Prayer​

    • Preaching

    • Studying the Word of God

    • Celebration of the sacraments

    • Fellowship 

  • to equip loving, giving, growing Christians to reach out with the Good News of Jesus Christ.

    • evangelizing the lost​

    • ministering to those in need

    • seeking justice for the oppressed.
