About us

Missionskirken - a Covenant Church on Bornholm, Denmark

What Is a Covenant Church?

"Evangelical, but not exclusive.
Biblical, but not doctrinaire.
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."

Your Invitation to Be Part of this Covenant! The most important thing we have to offer is an invitation to experience new life in Christ. In the Bible we learn that God gives new life to any person who trusts Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. A trusting personal relationship with Jesus is all that is needed to be a Christian. We invite you to read:

"How to Become a Christian."

"The Evangelical Covenant Church has its roots in historical Christianity as it emerged in the Protestant Reformation, and in the great spiritual awakenings of the nineteenth century. These to influences have in large measure shaped its development and are to be borne in mind in seeking to understand its distinctive spirit. The Covenant Church adheres to the affirmation of the Protestant Reformation regarding the Holy Scriptures, the Old and the New Testament, as the Word of God and the only perfect rule for faith, doctrine, and conduct. It has traditionally valued the historic confessions of the Christian church, particularly the Apostles' Creed, while at the same time it has emphasized the sovereignty of the Word over creedal interpretations. It has especially cherished the pietistic restatement of the doctrine of justification by faith as basic to the dual task of evangelism and Christian nurture, the New Testament emphasis upon personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, the reality of a fellowship of believers which recognizes but transcends theological differences, and the belief in baptism and the Lord's Supper as divinely ordained sacraments of the church. The principle of personal freedom, so highly esteemed by the Covenant, is to be distinguished from the individualism that disregards the centrality of the Word of God and the mutual responsibilities and disciplines of the spiritual community."
