New
Year, New Look!
Perhaps you noticed the new look at the top of Quick Connect,
the monthly PSWC update. We also want to introduce you to
the new look for the Pacific Southwest Conference. While the
colorful overlapping circles in our new logo represent the
mosaic of diverse churches comprising the Pacific Southwest
Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church, you'll also

focus: Strengthening churches. Starting churches. Developing
leaders. Loving mercy, doing justice.
