About The Evangelical Covenant Church
The Evangelical Covenant Church is a rapidly growing multi-ethnic denomination of more than 750 congregations in the United States and Canada with ministries on five continents of the world. Founded in 1885 by Swedish Immigrants, the ECC values the Bible as the Word of God, the gift of God's grace and ever-deepening spiritual life that comes through faith in Jesus Christ, the importance of extending God's love and compassion to a hurting world, and the strength that comes from unity within diversity.

Attention Webmasters! Do your webpages link to the Covenant website? If so, thanks! Now is the time to make sure the address used is http://www.covchurch.org. You don't need to include the "/cov/" directory name or the "index.html" page name in the link. Just http://www.covchurch.org is all you need. Is your Covenant church website in our churches listing? Check out churches with webpages and if not email us with your website link. Also, please avoid linking to specific documents or directories within the site. Ongoing structural changes to the site will likely make those links invalid faster than you can say, "HREF"! (Sorry, couldn't resist a little HTML humor.) To help people find what they're looking for as quickly as possible we recommend the "Guide to covchurch.org." or do a search. If what you are looking for is not in the guide and you think it should be let us know and we will add it.
