what is a covenant church?

Buffalo Covenant is part of the Evangelical Covenant Church - a group of more than six hundred churches in the United States and Canada. Founded by Swedish immigrants in 1885, it is a voluntary covenant of churches committed to the affirmation of historical Christianity regarding the Bible as the Word of God and the only perfect rule for doctrine and conduct. The Covenant Church emphasizes the Bible's witness to new life in Jesus Christ expressed in a day to day walk with the Lord.

The Covenant Church believes the following:

1. The Bible is God's message to us (2 Timothy 3:16)
2. Jesus Christ changes lives (John 3:3, 14:6)
3. The church is a spiritual family (1 Corinthians 12:12-13)
4. A Holy Spirit empowers us to live for God (Galatians 5:25)
5. Freedom comes from Jesus Christ (John 8:31-32; Galatians 5:1)
