Mission & Vision

We join God in God’s mission to see more disciples among more populations in a more caring and just world.

The Evangelical Covenant Church envisions living into God’s kingdom through a prayerful, multiethnic, intergenerational movement of churches, served by women and men striving to love and follow in the way of Jesus by loving our neighbors as Jesus loves us.

We strengthen the community of vocational ministers through advocacy, endorsement, credentialing, care, and formation.

Serve Locally

We start, empower, and equip churches to grow as communities of disciples who make disciples, fostering justice and compassion to uplift and serve those around them.

We join the global Church through global partnerships and sending global personnel to engage in God’s mission across cultures and around the world.

Stories & News

Moving from Echo Chambers to Empathy

Nearly 70 students from the Pacific Northwest Conference joined the first Youth Journey to Mosaic recently where they heard immigrant and refugee stories and visited a detention center. Their reflections reveal how proximity increases empathy, inviting us to listen, remember our roots, and love our neighbors.

Free to Live

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we share a reflection from survivor leader Sunita on Isaiah 61:4. From the Covenant’s Week of Prayer resource and FREE, the anti-sex trafficking initiative, it invites prayer for survivors and those who accompany them toward healing.

Love, Mercy, and Justice in Uncertain Times

Dunamis Life Covenant Church launched September 27 in the Bronx, led by Pastor Jessica Flores. Rooted in Luke 4:18, the church equips neighbors to confront injustice, pursue healing, and embody Christ’s liberating love so communities can flourish.

Healing and Shalom

Drawing from Mark 5, Bronwyn Murphy reflects on Jairus and the bleeding woman to show that Jesus meets us in suffering with shalom, a healing that restores body and soul, and invites trust even when a cure does not come.

Pulling Together for One Mission

New vice president of mission priorities Rev. Michael White shares early priorities: supporting Serve Clergy, Serve Locally, and Serve Globally to align initiatives, reduce silos, and better resource conferences and local churches for ministry with clarity and shared purpose.

Be a Voice at the Gate

This month we celebrate Latino Heritage Month—honoring the history, resilience, and creativity of Latin voices. Today we share a bibliodrama by Eneida Reyes that brings Scripture alive by giving voice to its silent characters.

Resources

A variety of resources for ministry in the Evangelical Covenant Church have been created and curated by and for local churches and ministry leaders.

Across the Evangelical Covenant Church, events join us together in corporate worship, challenge us through active learning experiences, equip us to grow, and build and strengthen relationships.

Prior to moving to the USA, I was a professor at the National University of Colombia and served with the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students in Colombia for 16 years. Starting in 2001, I served as InterVarsity National Staff in the USA. I have a master’s degree in Christian Ministries, and I serve in Spiritual Direction to those who want to be fully present and available to God and receive His grace over them. My joy is to see professors and college students coming to know Jesus and being transformed into people that bring the good news of righteousness and justice to others.
