Jesus Christ must be at the center of our lives. The Bible is God’s unique Word, showing us God’s will and teaching us how to live. A thoughtful theology is important for each of us. We are all ministers…where we live, where we work and where we play.
We are a congregation of ECO, a Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians. Our passion lies in strengthening the “ECO”-systems of local churches. We believe that the Church is a living organism that needs life-giving resources to help it grow, thrive and multiply.
As ECO began, our desire was not simply to create another denomination, but to truly be a movement that recaptures the best of our Presbyterian and Reformed heritage to saturate our broken and hurting world with the transforming power of Jesus Christ. We are committed to reaching a new apex in our next decade of ministry, by envisioning 1,000 planted, revitalized, and flourishing ECO congregations and micro-expressions by 2030. To make this passion a reality, we must aggressively recruit, train, re-train, and deploy 1,000 vocational leaders and 10,000 highly invested lay leaders.
In doing so, we see hundreds of thousands of movement-equipped people emerging for daily gospel influence. Like a child who blows a dandelion into the wind, the Spirit scatters us into our communities to plant the gospel. Imagine worldwide, millions of people linked to the surprising goodness of God, loved through tangible acts of kindness, lifted by the compelling good news of Jesus, and lavishly adopted into a new and better kind of family.
