Announcement of President/Superintendent Candidate
Dear Canada Covenant Friends,
It is with joy that I write to make an announcement about the search for the position of President/Superintendent of the Evangelical Covenant Church of Canada. Our Leadership Board, acting as the search committee, met with President of the ECC, Tammy Swanson-Draheim, in Toronto, March 14-16, 2025. With preparation, prayer, and reflection, the team met in person with the short-listed nominees and had two-hour interviews with each one. The interviews were excellent and we were encouraged by the thoughtfulness of each one. We spent one night and the next morning to pray, reflect, and then deliberate over the nominees. It seemed good to us and to the Holy Spirit. And so, it is my pleasure to announce that Acting Superintendent, Rob Peterson, was chosen as our candidate for election to the position of President/Superintendent at the Canada Covenant Annual General Meeting (AGM) in May.
You will be receiving more biographical information about Rob in preparation for the AGM. We would ask you to continue to pray for Rob, for the AGM, and for the entire Canada Covenant.
With gratefulness,
Jenell Pluim
Chair, On behalf of the Leadership Board

As a community of churches, camps, and partnerships we rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to empower us to do Christ’s work in Canada and around the world. This year, we will gather to elect a new President/Superintendent for our denomination. It will be an exciting and important meeting. Additionally, we’ll have opportunities to learn, hear how God has been at work, connect, and worship together. Our annual meeting gives us a chance to celebrate God’s work and pray for continued guidance as we seek to Start and Strengthen churches and Serve and Support pastors and leaders.
Come to the AGM for a chance to connect with Covenanters from across Canada and to meet in person with President/Superintendent candidate, Rob Peterson.
