Wiley Heights Covenant Church - Bringing Good News

Support of Missions

From the very beginning of the Covenant Church, missions was a very important part of the denomination. The first name given to these early converts was Mission Friends and then it was changed to Evangelical Mission Covenant and more recently to Evangelical Covenant Church of America. Today we as a church send a portion of our budget that goes to help support our career, short-term, and project missionaries in 20 countries. We also support Covenant World Relief, which works in disaster relief and sustainable development.

African Inland Mission

Besides our own Covenant missions, the members of Wiley Heights Covenant Church also support AIM Logo missionaries from Africa Inland Mission (AIM), who have roots in Wiley Heights

AIM is a nondenominational Christian missionary sending agency serving primarily in Africa and the islands of the Indian Ocean. AIM was founded in 1895 and currently has more than 850 missionaries.

The Women Ministries also provides a yearly gift to two Special Interest Missionaries (SIMs) assigned by the Covenant, as well as Carla, Kym, Barbara, Esther, Ruth, Lisa, and Patty Arensen, and Kristy Faber.

Sharing the Harvest

Farmer Sharing the Harvest (STH) is a mission venture that demonstrates God’s love through taking a bite out of global hunger and malnutrition. It is a shared venture of the churches of the North Pacific Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church in support of projects through Covenant World Relief/Foods Resource Bank.
