Mission & Values
Our Mission
"To become a community of people Living their call, Loving God and Loving people into the family of Christ"
As the apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12, we are all members of The One Body, by The One Spirit, to build each other up as we embrace our unique roles and callings as we approach unity and maturity in Christ by loving God and one another.
Our Values
Loving Like Jesus
We love you, no matter what! The two greatest commands of the whole Bible; Love God, Love People, Period. No room for exceptions, not even me, and certainly not you.
Church as a Conversation
Church is not a place to be talked at; rather, it is a place to digest and dig deeper into God’s Word together.
Real Authenticity
What you see is what you get. Who we are in public is who we are in private. Even when life gets messy or hard we live in the light.
Jesus Meets You Where You’re At
Jesus died for us on our worst days. When we are broken, messed up, falling apart and steeped in our sin; He said WORTH IT.
Community
We want to share life with one another, our struggles, our questions and our victories.
Picking Each Other Up
When one part of the body suffers every other part suffers with it. We believe life is a team sport and we all need each other as life gives us more than we can handle. Jesus sent them out in teams, and we want to do life His way.
Equity
There is no no longer male nor female, slave nor free, but all are one in Christ. God does not show favoritism and neither should we but all are worthy of dignity and respect, and welcome in His family.
Grace
For ourselves and one another. We’re not going to get it right all the time and we shouldn’t expect others to either. We wont always agree on everything, but we leave space for humanness. We love because He first loved us, We forgive because He first forgave us.
Going Beyond the Walls
Church is not a building! it is the people responding to the call of Jesus. At Ecclesia our vision is to go beyond our four walls and into our community. We believe in being involved in local ministries and helping one another throughout the week and across our city.
There is a Call on Your Life
No matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done, or where you are right now; God has a place for you in His family and a purpose for your life right now (not when you think you’ve “Arrived”). YOU WERE MADE ON PURPOSE
