The Evangelical Congregational Church is people – people just like you – committed to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ so that men, women and children may experience saving faith in Christ.

The people of the E.C. Church also seek to help new believers discover their place in a family where they can find support on their faith journey, a journey that leads to personal growth in Christlikeness.

One global community with over 600 congregations in the United States and around the world. Touching seven nations, bridging the generations, linking our nation’s cultures.

In our local congregations the pastor is charged with supervising the work. Each congregation has its own governing body, an Official Board or Ministry Council, which gives direction to the entire church program. The board or council assigns much of its work to other local commissions and committees in matters of property, finance, education, evangelism, youth work and missions.

Our name, “Evangelical” expresses our desire to share our faith with others; and “Congregational” describes our form of government. Each congregation owns its property, determines its membership, manages its affairs and has the final prerogative in choosing its ecclesiastical affiliation.

Though we are congregational, we are not independent of one another. Our Bishop provides oversight, vision and direction, while our Associates give leadership to the Communities which are made up of gifted pastors and laity. These Communities implement the vision on the local church level focusing on Church Health, Global Ministry, Kingdom Extension and Ministerial Development. We enjoy a fellowship of local congregations strategically grouped in thirteen geographical districts and shepherded by a District Field Director. Together we form the National Conference of the Evangelical Congregational Church.
