About the Department of the Ordered Ministry 

The Department of the Ordered Ministry recruits, supports, credentials, and cares for Covenant Ministers.

Our departmental mission is to serve the Gospel mission of the whole church by endorsing, advocating, supporting, and caring for all persons called to serve in vocational ministry on behalf of the Evangelical Covenant Church.

We envision a faithful community of vocational ministers that:

• exhibits healthy self and collegial care – Sabbath-based rhythms of prayer, study, work, play, and rest

• strives to be inclusive of all persons called to serve God, regardless of gender, age, or ethnicity

• highly values a life of theological education and training

• is rooted in a deep understanding of Covenant identity and theology

In order to fully embody the pastoral arts of preaching, teaching, leading, and caring well.
