Statement of Faith
This organization accepts the Holy Scriptures as the revealed will of God, the all-sufficient rule for faith and practice, and for the purpose of maintaining general unity, adopts the following statement of fundamental truths:
We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God; eternally existent in three persons:
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in the blessed hope of His personal, visible, future return to this earth to receive to Himself His blood-bought church that it may be with Him forever.
We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ.
We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential
for personal salvation.
We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing of the human body in answer to believing prayer.
We believe it is the will of God that every believer be filled with the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a holy life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.
We believe in the personal, visible, imminent return of Jesus Christ.
We believe in water baptism by immersion and observance of the Lord's Supper.
Our Purpose

His assignment, as given by the Holy Spirit, is to provide a personal, spiritual connection from father to son/daughter and a son/daughter to father to EWCA members. This connection will result in leaders being able to better serve the ministries to which they are called, as well as, itinerant ministers being able to serve in a more excellent manner while walking in a greater level of integrity and truth.
EWCA’s purpose is also to:
a. Emphasize, encourage, and promote the Christian faith and ministry.
b. Give instruction, teaching, and counsel to its members in church and ministry leadership functions.
c. Give spiritual development to its members through personal contact, email, telephone, and group settings, such as, conferences, workshops, and worship services.
d. To provide an avenue for networking and fellowship among EWCA members.
e. To provide supply a vehicle through which New Light Church can share information and provide resources and training that will benefit the members of EWCA in their pursuit of excellence in ministry and Kingdom building.
f. Respond to emergency needs of its members who request assistance.
g. Give insight for oversight to persons connected to EWCA by distinction of their vocation and calling.
h. Provide spiritual covering for five-fold ministry gifts of like precious faith.
Our Vision
The vision for Empowering Word Covenant Alliance is to provide a biblical covering for five-fold ministry gifts, forum for like-minded churches and ministries to come together in fellowship, and through association and training, equip each member with the tools for advancing the Kingdom of God while maintaining the highest level of excellence and integrity.
