The Young Pietists are a group of student, lay and clergy leaders who are committed to:

  • empowering the next generation of church leadership
  • witnessing to biblical justice through holistic and embodied discipleship, and
  • serving and actively engaging the Evangelical Covenant Church
so that together we may more faithfully embody the ekklesia, the ‘called out’ body of Jesus Christ.

WHY

Building on our rich heritage as pietists who value using our heads, our hearts, and our hands in ministry, we affirm our inherited history in the Evangelical Covenant Church and desire to contribute to its future story. This movement intends to gather, encourage, organize and send out young leaders committed to holistic and embodied discipleship in our church. It is not intended to be programmatic or exclusive - but rather a safe and focused space where young leaders can take part in creative conversation and influence the shape of our church’s communal life.
