2025 marks the 90th anniversary of the Covenant Archives. Celebrate this milestone this academic year through a lunch and learn series, sponsored by the Commission on Covenant History. Learn more about the Covenant Archives and how archival research supports the current mission and ministries of the ECC through a series of virtual discussions.
In our January 14 session, Andy Meyer and Tony Zamble share how their archival research has fostered conversations about North Park University’s mission and distinctives – Christian, City-Centered, and Intercultural.
