Welcome

The Midwest Conference office is a regional office for The Evangelical Covenant Church. The main office, located in Omaha, NE, is one of three hubs in our conference.  Our staff includes Superintendent Ken Carlson (also Coordinator for Iowa and Nebraska Hub Ministries), Associate Superintendent Dave Benedict (also Director of Congregational Vitality and Coordinator for Kansas and Missouri Hub Ministries), office located in Lenexa, KS, and Associate Superintendent Rick Mylander (also Director of Church Planting and Coordinator for Western Hub Ministries, office located in Castle Rock, CO. 

We consist of 83 churches and 4 fellowship groups located in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. 

Our primary focus being the new life in Jesus Christ, the Midwest Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church exists to encourage and support each member church in its mission to bring people into a personal relationship with Christ, develop ministries for life-long spiritual growth in discipleship, and plant other churches of like spirit.
