About the Covenant Ministerium

The Covenant Ministerium consists of all who hold ministerial credentials through the Evangelical Covenant Church. These people constitute the "ordered ministry" because they are ordained, licensed, commissioned, or consecrated as a minister or missionary.

The purpose of the Covenant Ministerium is five-fold:

to consider and act upon the licensure, ordination, commissioning, consecration, and discipline of ministers and missionaries in accordance with the Rules for the Ordered Ministry and the Constitution and Bylaws of the Evangelical Covenant Church;
to seek to raise the spiritual, ethical, and professional standards of the Covenant Ministerium;
to strengthen the bonds of Christian fellowship among the members of the Covenant Ministerium;
to render help to members of the Covenant Ministerium in times of special physical, personal, or spiritual need;
to assist in the recruiting and selection of candidates for the Christian ministry and to work with North Park Theological Seminary in the matriculation of students.

-- From the Constitution of the Covenant Ministerium.
