“What can I offer the Lord for all he has done for me?” ”
You can make a difference.
Our prayer for ECC Attleboro is that we would be a life giving space, where people are drawn to follow Jesus and we can walk beside each other as we seek, surrender, study, and serve God together.
We invite you to partner with us in this vision & prayer and contribute in a way that is life-giving to you. We exist because of the generous members of our community who partner with our ministry through regular tithes and offerings.
Sharing your time and talents
Our church offers many opportunities and roles in ministries that support and educate our congregation and reach out to our community and beyond.
We would like to make you aware of some of the ways you can offer your time and talent to participate in these ministries. As you look over these choices, ask God to help you know how to apply your gifts to serve others. The list is long. Your participation is needed. The vitality of our church depends on you.
Homelessness Awareness Support
Each year our youth group commits to spending time walking in the shoes of those who are homeless. They stand on the street corner and hold sign to raise funds to support our local food bands and Lynn Ministries. They take their turn making lunches to hand out to those living on the streets. The serve with Lynn Ministries on the streets of Attleboro providing warm clothes and a warm drink.
They normally sleep outside but this year due to the restrictions on having fires they will not be. This brings to light the trials that those who are living outside are facing as this time.
You can help our church provide help to those who are living outside and to those who are living in shelters by making a donation on our church center website. Just choose Homelessness Awareness on the dropdown menu. All the funds raised will stay in the Attleboro Area.

Global Missions
Serve Globally is committed to the whole mission of God – extending the whole gospel to the whole world. Through global partnerships and Covenant missionary personnel, we make and deepen disciples, start and strengthen churches, develop leaders, love mercy and do justice, and serve globally—that is, join the rest of the global church in engaging in God’s mission.
There are churches and international ministries in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East North Africa. Hundreds of Covenant churches throughout the U.S. and Canada are working together to proclaim the gospel internationally and in their local communities. Local churches connect mission teams with projects around the world. Covenant people from around the world join together to pray, celebrate, and work together in response to the movement of God.
ECC Attleboro directly supports Randy and Cheryl Bevis who serve as Covenant missionaries in Thailand.
Our Church participates in various multi generational mission trips, local and global.
New England Seafarers Mission began in the 1880s with the arrival of the Swedish Covenant Church during the great Scandinavian immigration to the US. We began with a single pastor who worked the waterfront, visiting primarily crews from the many Swedish ships calling in Boston. Over the years, that ministry grew to include people from all over the world. Today, NESM provides services in Boston, Providence, Narragansett Bay, Portsmouth, and Portland. We have professional, paid staff in Providence and Boston, but members of local churches in New Hampshire and Maine have taken on the ministry in those locations.
Today, NESM remains part of the Evangelical Covenant Church, and we have an endorsement as a co-operating ministry of the New England Synod of the ELCA (The Lutherans). We are supported by individual congregations from a large number of denominations, including a few free churches as well.
Groups are gathered to assist chaplains and climb onboard the ships that call into Boston and Providence ports and bring much needed friendship and assistance to the crew members. Each year our chaplains bring 1500 Ditty bags onboard the ships and with it, a little of the Christmas message.
Covenant Kids Congo is partners with World Vision to keep their children healthy, in school and with opportunities for their dreams to come true. Together we are changing the lives of thousands through clean water, education, health, agriculture, economic development and advocacy.
Covenant World Relief works through local partners around the world to reduce human suffering for the most vulnerable people and support healthy communities.
For more than 60 years, Covenant World Relief has been the Evangelical Covenant Church’s response to human suffering and injustice in the world. Join us today in becoming a Partner in Transformation.
