OUR AFFILIATION

LIFE COMMUNITY CHURCH IS AFFILIATED WITH THE EVANGELICAL COVENANT CHURCH (WWW.COVCHURCH.ORG). WITH IT’S ROOTS IN THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION, THE EVANGELICAL COVENANT CHURCH IS A DENOMINATION THAT HOLDS TO THE AFFIRMATIONS OF HISTORICAL CHRISTIANITY REGARDING THE BIBLE AS THE WORD OF GOD AND THE ONLY RULE FOR FAITH, DOCTRINE AND CONDUCT. WHAT MAKES THE COVENANT UNIQUE FROM OTHER DENOMINATIONS IS THE FACT THAT WHILE IT STRONGLY AFFIRMS THE CLEAR TEACHING OF THE BIBLE, IT ALLOWS BELIEVERS THE PERSONAL FREEDOM TO HAVE VARYING INTERPRETATIONS ON THEOLOGICAL ISSUES THAT ARE NOT CLEARLY PRESENTED IN SCRIPTURE.
