Over 150 years ago a spiritual awakening swept across Sweden, and when Swedes joined the immigration to America, they brought that revival spirit with them. In 1885, a number of those Swedes "covenanted" together to form the Evangelical Covenant Church, that has since those days become a diverse denomination represented by a broad ethnic mix. The Evangelical Covenant Church holds to the necessity of personal faith in Jesus Chirst, the authority of the Bible, and a family feeling that is centered in grace rather than rules. While we are no longer a Swedish church, we cling to the fervor of that original faith as we see the denomination grow in ministry and in numbers. What does the Covenant logo represent? Click here.
The North Pacific Conference (NPC) is a regional conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church giving leadership, providing resources and facilitating community among Covenant churches in Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. Currently the NPC has 73 congregations ranging from established churches of over 100 years to new fellowship groups and new churches planted as recently as this past year.
