A New Vision for Church
Church done differently
What if church wasn’t confined to a building or a schedule? What if it wasn’t about attendance, but connection? What if we gathered multiple times throughout the week, around a table to share meals and grow spiritually as a community?
People often struggle to find deep, trustworthy relationships and a place where they can connect with others. We chase meaningless desires and sometimes harmful behaviors and/or lifestyles to fill the void in our souls. Even the faithful are grappling with these challenges, often feeling lonely and disconnected despite their faith.
Reconnecting with God, Ourselves, and Others
Community: Regular gatherings foster genuine relationships. Intimate relationships form as individuals and families meet consistently. A larger community emerges with less frequent gatherings, such as weekly, monthly, and quarterly meetings.
Formation: Spiritual practices and guided discussions transform lives. Through pastors and leaders, the community learns, practices, and grows with consistent spiritual discipleship, focusing on attributes such as scripture, silence, generosity, prayer, and more.
Simplicity: An intentional focus on what truly matters. While supporting liturgical aspects, practices vary from gathering to gathering. Instead of insisting on specific service aspects, a unique focus is placed on different liturgical aspects at each gathering.
We follow the tenets and polity of ECO Presbyterians, officially known as ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians. The ECO Presbyterian denomination emphasizes strengthening local church ecosystems. ECO is characterized by its commitment to:
Evangelical: advancing the gospel and planting new churches. ECO also values the "livable theology," where faith is applied and lived out in daily life.
Covenant: fostering accountable relationships and collaboration among leaders.
Order: uniting around a shared theological core and way of life.
ALL (and we mean ALL) are welcome!
