"I'm thankful to God that the Northwest Conference understands the absolutely essential imperative of leadership training in the 21st century. Led by the Spirit, church leaders are being called to a fresh day of envisioning what it means to serve Jesus as the Church. It is a great joy for us at Crosstown Covenant to share in this bold task of being the Church in these unique days in which we find ourselves."
We are a regional conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC), which is a rapidly growing multiethnic denomination in the United States and Canada with ministries on five continents of the world. Founded in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, the ECC values the Bible as the word of God, the gift of God's grace and ever-deepening spiritual life that comes through a faith with Jesus Christ, the importance of extending God's love and compassion to a hurting world, and the strength the comes from unity within diversity.
We are:
- Evangelical, but not exclusive
- Biblical, but not doctrinaire
- Traditional, but not rigid
- Congregational, but not independent
