Welcome!
Welcome to the website of the Eastern European Regional Chapter of the Wesleyan Covenant Association. The chapter was established on 03 July 2021 by founding members from different Eastern European countries within the boundaries of the Central Conference of Central and Southern Europe of the United Methodist Church.
Given the current challenges directed to the unique place of the Bible in the church, we affirm that the core of the Christian faith is revealed in Scripture as “the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints” (Jude 3; NRSV). We look to the Bible therefore as our authority and trustworthy guide, which “is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16; NRSV). Illuminated by tradition, reason, and experience, the revelation of Scripture is the church’s primary and final authority on all matters of faith and practice.
We believe marriage and sexual intimacy are good gifts from God. In keeping with Christian teaching through the ages and throughout the Church universal, we believe that marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union. We believe that God intends faithfulness in marriage and celibacy in singleness.
Christian doctrine and ethics should not be disconnected and treated as completely independent theological areas. Christianity is always a unity of faith and life. The Christian ethos is a daily manifestation of our beliefs and has equal significance with the doctrines of our faith.
