Our Mission
“Our Mission is to be a place of belonging, where people can experience the transforming love of Christ!"
About Us:
We are a small Bible-based family church that not only looks well to the interests of each other, but also seeks to share the love of Christ with the community around us. We are a congregation of a world-wide Protestant denomination: Evangelical Covenant Church.
The Evangelical Covenant Church is part of the people of God that began in the Old Testament and lived through the New Testament, right up to today. We believe in God the Father, in Jesus Christ, His Son and our Savior, and the Holy Spirit. We believe, as Jesus Himself said, that anyone who believes in Him and follows Him is a child of God for all time and eternity. The Bible is our book and guide in life. We say that the Bible is "the only perfect rule for faith, conduct, and doctrine." This gives us oneness in following God, yet preserves us from imposing our own thoughts and ways on each other. We desire to have our lives shaped by the powerful and living Word of God. We follow Him freely, for His truth makes us free to follow His leading.
The Evangelical Covenant Church has its roots in historical Christianity as it emerged in the Protestant Reformation, in the biblical instruction of the Lutheran Church of Sweden, and in the great spiritual awakenings of the nineteenth century.
We are an apostolic church. We confess the historic faith of the Apostles. We
believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God, our Savior and Lord. We accept the Holy Scriptures, the Old and New Testaments, as "the Word of God and the only perfect rule for faith, doctrine, and conduct."
We are a catholic church. We see ourselves to be part of the universal church of Jesus Christ from the days of the apostles until now.
We are a reformation church. We stand in the mainstream of the sixteenth
century Protestant movement which insisted on justification by grace alone
through faith alone.
We are an evangelical church. We were born out of the revival movement that touched all of Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and came to flower for us in nineteenth and twentieth-century America.
