OUR HISTORY
OUR HISTORY
​
Established in 1894 by early Swedish immigrants, the Mission Covenant Church of Poplar was located along County Road D just one block south of Highway 2. It was known at that time as the Swedish Mission Congregation. On January 1, 1944, the church name was officially changed to Mission Covenant Church. Over the years, our congregation flourished until it was time to expand our facility. In February of 1996 our congregation moved to its current location. Our church family is now reflective of today’s community.
As we prepare for the future, we are thankful for the vision of our forefathers. We praise God for what He has provided in this community since our church was established and thank Him for his leading.

THE EVANGELICAL COVENANT CHURCH OF AMERICA
​
Mission Covenant Church is part of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) – a rapidly growing multi-ethnic denomination in the United States and Canada with ministries on five continents of the world. Founded in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, the ECC values the Bible as the Word of God, the gift of God’s grace and ever-deepening spiritual life that comes through faith in Jesus Christ, the importance of extending God’s love and compassion to a hurting world, and the strength that comes from unity within diversity.
What makes the Covenant unique from other denominations is the fact that while it strongly affirms the clear teaching of the Word of God, it allows believers the personal freedom to have varying interpretations on theological issues that are not clearly presented in Scripture.Mission Covenant Church is part of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) – a rapidly growing multi-ethnic denomination in the United States and Canada with ministries on five continents of the world.
