The church we are planting is a "Covenant" church. We are supported by the Evangelical Covenant Church, and believe strongly in the ECC's Affirmations. If you would like to read more about who the Covenant is and what the Covenant believes, please peruse the following links.

ECC RESOLUTIONS
Freedom in Christ is a key aspect of the ECC. However, many issues that face all people today challenge us to take a stance on political and ethical issues. These issues include creation care, abortion, human sexuality, human trafficking, poverty, to name just a few. The Covenant Commission on Christian Action works collaboratively to address these issues in a way which coalesces Biblical and theological thinking. The resulting resolutions are non-binding, but they do provide excellent perspective adopted by delegate vote in the Covenant's highest decision making body (at the Annual Meeting). Find more information about these resolutions and links to each Resolution currently in action at the Covenant Resolutions Page.
Of particular interest right now is the 2006 Resolution on Immigration.

This booklet, created by the Commission on Biblical Gender Equality (BGE) of the ECC, provides Biblical basis and affirmation for women in ministry. Using a question-and-answer format, this document provides a tool both for individual study and for us in churches and families. (from ECC website)
