• Sunday Worship - 10 am

Welcome to Monroe Covenant Church

We’re glad you’re here and hope you will join us soon!
We invite you to worship with us on Sunday mornings at 10 am

Covenant Churches (covchurch.org) are deeply committed to Jesus Christ
and passionately engaged in Christ’s mission in the world.

One of the ways we do that is through Take the Next Step,
a community resource center that offers
Friendship, Help, and Hope to our neighbors in need.

Resolution to Repudiate the Doctrine of Discovery

In June of 2022, delegates to the 135th Annual Meeting of the Evangelical Covenant Church voted overwhelmingly to approve the “Resolution to Repudiate the Doctrine of Discovery.” We, along with Covenant churches across the country, "confess with our Indigenous brothers and sisters that the whole of creation is the work of God, and we acknowledge the damage done to the Indigenous inhabitants of the Americas through the taking of rights, property, and land. We acknowledge the cultural genocide of Indigenous peoples through sustained and systemic acts of injustice. We acknowledge the complicity of the Christian church (including the Covenant Church) in that dispossession, subjugation, and relegation. We the Evangelical Covenant Church hereby repudiate the Doctrine of Discovery as fundamentally opposed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. We will seek to support Indigenous people as they identify ways to affirm their inherent human rights and resolve wrongs."

We at Monroe Covenant Church acknowledge that our church sits on land historically lived on and cared for by the Stillaguamish, Tulalip, and Coast Salish people, among others. These people are not gone, as is often assumed, but continue to live on and near these lands today. We are open to how God might lead us to engage in the work of repair.

Statement on Solidarity

We affirm that racial inequality continues to exist in our society today. The Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) takes seriously our call to practice solidarity with all who are vulnerable, marginalized, and oppressed as our biblical witness calls us to do, while paying special attention to the anti-black racism that has created recent increased trauma and injustice in our nation.

We pledge to support the dismantling of systemic oppression and racism in our communities through listening, prayer, and action. We will practice intentional listening, engagement in corporate and personal prayer to name and repent of the sin of racism, and corporate action through our discipleship pathways across the country and worldwide.

We must continue this work. It is our foremost desire to link arms with our brothers and sisters in order to reflect how precious each person is in God’s sight, and we trust Jesus Christ to guide us as we seek to humbly listen and respond.
