Redeemer Covenant Church is an Evangelical Covenant Church congregation.

 

The purpose for the ECC is to engage more people in a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, across more populations, in a more caring and just world to make more disciples. We do this through a growing, multiethnic, intergenerational mosaic of churches with ministry partnerships in nearly 40 countries.

 

In 1885, ECC founders were products of a trans-Atlantic evangelical renewal movement that emphasized life in the Spirit over the rigid confessions of the state church. Valuing genuine devotion over empty ritual, they renounced forms of church life that elevated doctrinal confessions over Scripture, and that sought to control the individual’s conscience. Rather, they viewed personal faith as evidence of a vital relationship with Jesus Christ. 

​

While the Covenant is non-confessional, we take our theology and our history seriously, and we value the early creeds. Our common Christian affirmations are that we are an Apostolic, Catholic, Reformation, and Evangelical church. In that heritage, we share central Christian beliefs, which draw us together in faith and fellowship and make possible a freedom among us on more widely ranging issues.

 

We hold to the 5 following affirmations:

​

1. We affirm the centrality of the word of God.

2. We affirm the necessity of the new birth.

3. We affirm a commitment to the whole mission of the church.

4. We affirm a conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit.

5. We affirm the reality of freedom in Christ.
