The Evangelical Covenant Church of America...
...came out of the
Swedish Church in the late 1800's. The Swedish settlers coming to America
and to this area, brought with them their strong Christian faith. The
denomination, headquartered in Chicago, has over 600 churches and is one of the
fastest growing denominations in the United States. Our church is part of the
Southeastern Conference, which has enjoyed tremendous growth in the past decade.
The
Denominational Church offers support, guidance and resources, but each local
congregation makes it's our policies, sets it's own budget, calls it's own
pastors, and chooses it's own ministries.
Covenanters
Care!
This is evidenced by community benevolent funds, mission outreach,
fellowship and the ministries offered by the denomination and local
congregations. The Covenant Missions have even grown into an international
church that is many times larger than the Covenant Church in America.
We
care about you!
The
Silverhill Covenant Church was the first church in the Southeastern Conference
and we celebrated our 100th Anniversary in the year 2002!
Come
join us in our second century of ministry!
We
Believe...
-
The
Bible is the only perfect rule for faith, doctrine, and conduct.
-
The
church is the fellowship of believers who participate and share in the new life
in Christ.
-
A
new Birth in Christ is essential for entrance into the Kingdom of God.
-
That
the freedom Christ gives delivers us from the power of sin, and moves us, by His
Grace, into a new life of obedience, service, and joy!
