No. The Ekklesia Center is an interdependent ministry. 

Following Pentecost, believers in the first century predominantly gathered in homes. Our aim is to faithfully replicate the principles and framework embodied by these early believers.

Followers of the faith are called to adhere to sound doctrine (Titus 2:1). We firmly believe that the teachings and principles of Jesus and the apostles form the foundation of this doctrine. It is through sound doctrine that we gain clarity and understanding of the values that should guide our daily lives. For further insight into the five central Kingdom values CLICK HERE.

The term "ekklesia" is the precise word used by Jesus at Caesarea Philippi, but it has unfortunately been mistranslated as "church." It is crucial to grasp this distinction because "ekklesia" carries a deeper meaning that aligns with the divine purpose of the Lord. It goes beyond a mere "calling out" and encompasses the remarkable ability and authority that believers possess to impact the world with the Kingdom of God. Embracing the true essence of "ekklesia" allows us to fully understand our potential and purpose as representatives of God's reign on earth. For more information CLICK HERE

Yes. The Ekklesia Center is open to all believers.

In the ekklesia, leadership is clearly defined in scripture. According to the Bible, there are several roles that serve the Body of Christ in specific localities. These roles include elders, deacons, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. However, it is important to note that apostles have a unique role as they are itinerant and may serve multiple local assemblies. They are responsible for governing, teaching, training, and caring for the believers. It is crucial to understand that none of these roles are hierarchal in nature or function.

Scripture unequivocally instructs believers to lead lives marked by cleanliness and holiness (Romans 6:22; 2Corinthians 7:1; Ephesians 5:5; 2Timothy 2:22). We firmly believe that our conduct as believers directly influences the perception of the Kingdom's message. Therefore, it is imperative for every believer to avoid any activities that could potentially cause someone to stumble in their faith.
