About Us
At Viking Covenant Church, we seek to form and nurture communities that are deeply committed to Jesus Christ and passionately engaged in Christ’s mission in the world. The purpose of Covenant affirmations is to make clear the values and principles that have guided the Evangelical Covenant Church since its founding in 1885.
Our essential beliefs are summed up in what we call Covenant Affirmations:
-
We affirm the centrality of the word of God.
-
We affirm the necessity of the new birth.
-
We affirm a commitment to the whole mission of the church.
-
We affirm the church as a fellowship of believers.
-
We affirm a conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit.
-
We affirm the reality of freedom in Christ.
How was the Evangelical Covenant Church Formed?
At church reform, they called themselves Mission Friends, and they focused less on the doctrinal arguments of the day and more on personal faith in Christ and Scripture as the center of their life together. They gathered in small groups to read the Bible, sing songs, and encourage one another in faith.
The Covenant was founded by some of these adventurous Swedish immigrants in 1885 and has become one of North America’s most diverse racial and ethnic denominations.
