Gather 2026 marks fifty years since the Evangelical Covenant Church voted to ordain women as pastors — affirming that women are called and gifted for ministry. This anniversary is an opportunity not only to celebrate, but to reflect on the ongoing work of living into that decision across the life of the church.
The women speaking at Gather reflect different generations, contexts, and expressions of ministry within the Covenant — some who helped open doors that had been closed, others who continue to lead in spaces where women’s leadership is still questioned. Together, they offer a living witness to God’s call across fifty years.
