The Great Lakes Conference is deeply committed to the health and vitality of our churches. We desire to be a missional church family that is biblical, connectional and devotional. Healthy missional congregations are on a journey of life, passion, hope, repentance and forgiveness. A vital church is a place where God continues to breathe his resurrection life into his people. The work of the Spirit is continually new and life-giving. To a valley full of dead and decaying bones God spoke: ‘I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’ Ezekiel 37:6
ECC + GLC Partnership
Congregational Vitality is a collaborative effort of the local church, the GLC and the Evangelical Covenant Church encouraging, supporting, learning and growing with one another in our shared pursuit of Christ and His priorities through His Church. As scripture reminds us, “A cord of three strands is not easily broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12).
