Covenant Denomination
The Evangelical Covenant Churches has its roots in historical Christianity as it emerged in the Protestant Reformation, in the biblical instruction of the Lutheran Church of Sweden, and 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 North America. |
