History:  In 1992 The Evangelical Covenant Church of Alaska (ECCAK) launched a youth and children's ministry department of ECCAK to help the Alaska Covenant churches have a coordinated effort for children and youth. In 1995 the ECCAK department focused on youth and young adult ministry and took on the name Covenant Youth of Alaska. In 2008, ECCAK initiated the incorporation of Covenant Youth of Alaska. 

Today: Covenant Youth of Alaska functions as the Department of Youth and Young Adult ministry for the Evangelical Covenant church of Alaska. CYAK works in collaboration with churches and ministries for the cause of ministry to young people in Alaska.
