About Us
Anchor Covenant is part of a larger family of churches called the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC), a denomination of about 850 US churches.
The Covenant describes itself this way: Set in motion in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, today we are a growing, multi ethnic, inter generational mosaic of churches with ministry partnerships in nearly forty countries on five continents.
The Evangelical Covenant Church values:
The Bible as the word of God
A gift of God’s grace and ever-deepening spiritual life through faith in Jesus Christ
Extending God’s love and compassion to a hurting world
Strength that comes from unity within diversity
