Covenant Church of Schaumburg is a multigenerational community of people whose mission is making God known, growing in Christ, and sharing his love with others. Our church was founded in 1966 and has been serving the Schaumburg community for over 50 years. We are part of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) denomination, and we embrace people from other denominational backgrounds.
We believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior and promise to follow him as Lord. We also accept the Holy Scriptures (the Old and New Testaments), as the word of God and the only perfect rule for faith, doctrine, and conduct.
The Covenant Church of Schaumburg is one of more than 850 Covenant Churches nationwide. The Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) traces its roots to the Lutheran Church of Sweden more than 125 years ago. Since that time, Covenant Churches have formed worldwide, welcoming people from many different backgrounds.
The ECC is a rapidly growing multiethnic denomination in the United States and Canada with ministries in 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 that comes from unity within diversity.
The Evangelical Covenant Church is:
• Evangelical, but not exclusive
• Biblical, but not doctrinaire
• Traditional, but not rigid
• Congregational, but not independent
We celebrate a few essential convictions; among them, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the Bible as a roadmap for our daily lives.
We observe the sacraments of Holy Communion and Holy Baptism. We believe that God intends life to have a healthy balance of worship, study, and service.
We are centered in Christ. Without a formal creed, we affirm the centrality of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, the necessity of a personal decision concerning Jesus Christ, and the priority of the Church to “Make God Known” through the words, teachings, life example, and living presence of Jesus Christ. We are a fellowship of Believers, who are One in Faith and Hope, even as we are allowed the freedom to differ in conviction and conscience. Ours is a Fellowship marked by Oneness in Christ.
Believing in the reality of God and His Love as directed toward us in Jesus Christ, our purpose is to be a fellowship of believers, glorifying God, showing love towards others in our witness, resulting in fellowship marked by oneness in Christ.
The Evangelical Covenant Church denomination does so many things to help people of all ages and walks of life. Please visit the pages below to learn more about all that we do.
