The Covenant

Redeemer Covenant Church of Orangevale, CA is a member of the Pacific Southwest Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church.

The Evangelical Covenant Church is a denomination of more than six hundred churches in the United States and Canada. It was founded by Swedish immigrants in 1885 as a voluntary covenant of churches committed to working together to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Covenant churches emphasize the Bible's witness to new life in Jesus Christ expressed in a day to day walk with the Lord.

What is a Covenant Church?

• · Evangelical, but not exclusive
• · Biblical, but not doctrinal
• · Traditional, but not rigid
• · Congregational, but not independent

The Covenant Mission

We are united by Christ in a holy covenant of churches empowered by the Holy Spirit to obey the Great Commandments and the Great Commission:

• · ...to love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind;
• · ...to love our neighbor as ourselves, and
• · ...to go into all the world and make disciples.
