The Midsouth Conference is a mission field of the Evangelical Covenant Church.  We serve the great states of Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and New Mexico.  Our mission is simple.  We partner with the Evangelical Covenant Church to help people follow the Great Commandment and Great Commission of Jesus Christ:  to love God with heart, soul, mind and strength; to love our neighbors as ourselves; to go into all the world and make disciples.  We accomplish this mission by planting, nourishing and networking healthy missional Covenant churches in our five-state region.  In the past decade we have been blessed with a season of harvest, growing from 3,000 people in 2000 to about 30,000 people at the end of 2008.  As we actively commit to church planting, we also welcome mission partnerships with existing local churches who sense a kindred spirit with the Evangelical Covenant Church.
