/> The centrality of the Word of God
/> All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
/> The Evangelical Covenant Church affirms the Holy Scriptures, the Old and New Testament, as the Word of God and the only perfect rule for faith, doctrine, and conduct.
/> Where is it written?
/> The necessity of new birth
/> Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!
— 2 Corinthians 5:17
/> A commitment to the whole mission of the church
/> He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
—Micah 6:8
/> The church as a fellowship of believers
/> They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Acts 2:42
/> Compelling Christian Community
/> Mission Friends
/> A conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit
/> An unconscious independence
/> …you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
—Acts 1:8
/> The reality of freedom in Christ
/> We major on the major and minor on the minors
/> Covenanters have understood that God’s Word is sovereign over every human interpretation of it, including their own. And understanding this, they have been free to allow for differences of opinion where the biblical record itself can be differently read.
