Welcome to the website of the Evangelical Covenant Church. If you want to know more about who the Covenant is you have a variety of options. You can go visit a local Covenant church in your area, read what's going on in the Covenant, contact an individual, or read some of the official documents of the church.

But most important, to know us you need to know that we are a people who seek to love and follow God. Join us.

What are we committed to?

We are committed to • Reaching the unchurched, particularly the emerging generation • Pressing forward in ethnic ministry and diversity • Extending greater measures of compassion and justice to the poor and desperate • Attending to the health of existing congregations • Forming spiritually mature disciples who live out obedience to Christ in the world • Calling forth and equipping women and men for all levels of church leadership • Pursuing expanded strategic global opportunities and partnerships.

An Invitation...

The most important thing we have to offer is an invitation to experience new life in Christ. In the Bible we learn that God gives new life to any person who trusts Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. A trusting personal relationship with Jesus is all that is needed to be a Christian. We invite you to read "How to Become a Christian."

We do welcome you. If you are looking for a church home and there is a Covenant church near you, it may be just what you have been praying for. If you are part of an unaffiliated congregation of Christians looking for a denominational family, we welcome your inquiry about affiliation. You are also invited to ask about starting a Covenant church in your area. Please send inquiries to Rev. Gary Walter in the Department of Church Growth and Evangelism at: The Evangelical Covenant Church, 5101 North Francisco Ave., Chicago, IL 60625.
