The Evangelical Covenant Church

North Park University was founded by the Evangelical Covenant Church, a rapidly growing multiethnic denomination with 750 congregations in the United States and Canada as well as ministries on five continents.

Formed in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, the Evangelical Covenant Church values:
  • The Bible as the Word of God
  • The gift of God’s grace
  • An ever-deepening spiritual life that comes through faith in Jesus Christ
  • The importance of extending God’s love, compassion, mercy, and justice to a hurting world
  • The strength that comes from unity within diversity
