What are the qualifications to be an Evangelical Covenant Church planter?
This is not a simple question. The answer first begins with a called pastor with the right gifts, skills, and passion. It also requires, however, an evaluation of an individual’s educational experiences, past ministry experiences, temperament, gifting, compatibility with the ECC and several other factors. While there are no specific or formal educational requirements mandated, we do look for pastors who are equipped to lead, have strong Biblical knowledge and can communicate well. The potential church planter will still need to be approved by an ECC assessment center prior to moving forward toward planting.
