Covenant Resource Paper: The Covenant Church and the Bible

View
Edit

A Covenant Resource Paper is a teaching document designed to provide context and clarity for Covenant churches on critical issues of concern in matters of faith, doctrine and conduct, states an explanatory document distributed last year. According to that declaration, resource papers:
    • Seek to apply biblical teaching to critical issues in the context of the historical character and ongoing missional identity of the Evangelical Covenant Church.
    • Exist to inform discipleship and practice in the life of Covenant people without rising to the level of creed, confession, or binding doctrine.
    • Provide a uniform way for the church as a whole to provide communal discernment to those issues that are most critical in our journey as people who follow Jesus Christ.

To learn more about the purpose of the papers as explained when the process was introduced last year, please read Covenant Resource Paper - Description.
