Guidelines for Writers


As the denominational magazine of the Evangelical Covenant Church, "The Covenant Companion" informs, stimulates thought, and encourages dialogue on issues that impact the church and its members.

Articles dealing with Christian life, the church (local, denominational, and universal), spirituality, contemporary issues impacting the Christian community, social justice, and outreach ministry are preferred.

We reserve the right to edit all submissions to meet our editorial standards. The average length of articles published in the Companion is 1200 to 1800  words. Material can be submitted by mail or electronically. Please include the following with your submission:

A cover letter that includes

  • your complete name, address, and phone number (Fax number and e-mail address, if available);
  • your vocational background and church affiliation;
  • the title of your submission;
  • a statement of whether you want your submission to be returned.

Your submission

Guidelines for Photographers
We accept photographs, color transparencies, slides, and digital images that reflect a mood or an aspect of society--wealthy/poor, strong/weak, happy/sad, conflict/peace, etc.--through nature, buildings, designs, and people. We keep photos and slides on file.

Payment is made within sixty days following publication, and includes three complimentary copies of the issue in which the photo appears.

Send us samples of your work. Make sure that each photo has your name and address plus and identifying number, otherwise we cannot take the responsibility for returning it. Please include a complete list of what you are sending. This will help us keep track of your photos. From these samples we will choose some to keep on file and return the rest in the self-addressed, stamped envelope or box you have provided. In the case of transparencies, you may send a selection for our viewing. We will indicate those that we would like to have duplicated for our files.
