Our Vision
ECC is a biblical church that purposes to train and encourage all its members toward Christ-centered spiritual maturity by:
- making prayer a priority in all that we do.
- embracing community life by participating in small groups dedicated to growing in Christ-likeness, training in spiritual disciplines, and empowering our witness to others.
- actively using our God given abilities in ministries to meet the physical and spiritual needs of our community and world with the love and gospel of Christ.
- partnering with other groups of believers to see our community and world transformed through the harvesting, discipling, and assembling of new believers, thus expanding the local and world-wide church.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to glorify God by loving, nurturing, equipping and empowering the believers of ECC for service so that:
- every believer at ECC becomes joyfully involved in the fulfillment of the Great Commission worldwide.
- every person in our community has the opportunity to hear and understand the gospel, and accept or reject the Lord Jesus Christ as his or her personal Savior.
