The Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) seeks to form and nurture communities that are deeply committed to Jesus Christ and passionately engaged in Christ’s mission in the world.
The Evangelical Covenant Church is:
evangelical, but not exclusive;
Biblical, but not doctrinaire;
traditional, but not rigid;
congregational, but not independent.
What We Believe - The ECC is a communion of congregations gathered by God, united in Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to obey the great commandment and the great commission. It affirms its companionship in faith with other church bodies and all those who fear God and keep God’s commandments.
The ECC's essential beliefs are summed up in these 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.
