Each year Ekklesia endeavors to read through the Bible in one-year. Some are successful, while others are not (for various reasons). Nevertheless, we embark upon this noble journey to better understand God's word by DAILY scripture reading. It is our prayer that you not only START, but that you also FINISH the reading plan for this year.
Adopt-A-Family Christmas List
Because of your generosity and sacrificial giving, we were able to adopt and give gifts to EVERY family on our list...13 FAMILIES TOTAL!!! That's pretty good for a small church in the midst of a global pandemic!!! To God be ALL the glory!!!
"WE ARE WHAT WE DO"
As a local non-denominational, community-based, Christian church we are called to serve. WE EXIST TO SERVE YOU! We believe the church is not a building, but A People who are called the Ekklesia (the church...The Called Out Ones).
Our focus is on "being" the church, not "attending" church!!!
Therefore, just because we have to practice social distancing, and are unable to congregate DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T SERVE!!! A church should me more about "being" the church, rather than simply "attending" church.
In light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, Ekklesia church members and supporters, who are not “at-risk”, will be assisting the most vulnerable in our community (senior citizens) with grocery shopping and dropping off donated COVID-19 hygiene supplies at their residences.
While some stores are graciously opening an hour early for our SCV seniors to shop before the crowds, many are unable to complete their shopping in an hour. Additionally, being in the store jeopardizes their health by exposing them to possibility of contracting the virus.
Furthermore, some may not be able to get the supplies they need because of recent "panic buying". As a result, each day we will visit stores to purchase certain hygiene items (toilet paper, wipes, hand sanitizer, etc) to maintain our inventory so that when a senior citizen calls with a request we will have ample supplies on hand to meet their need.
To help us replenish/maintain our inventory we will ask others to donate hygiene items from their personal supply. We are open to accepting financial donations as well (click the link to the right to make a financial donation).
IMPORTANT NOTE: We are a very small church, with a heart to serve. However, while supplies are extremely limited, were going to do our best to help as many of our seniors as possible.
Please keep Ekklesia, our seniors, our leaders, and those infected/their families in your prayers.
Continued Blessings,
Pastor Carthel & The Ekklesia Church Family

God presents himself at different "moments" in our lives. These moments are NOT based on the "chronological" passage of time, but rather in the "Fullness of Time" (as God is not confined to time). This message is gifted to help us recognize those divine moments. Pastor Carthel Towns
We had our first service in Pastor Carthel's garage in Nov. 2017! So, we're young....
While it's impossible to list everything we believe, the more salient tenets are listed here.

In 2020, officially launched our "Alignment Schedule" where we have church services on the First Sunday of each month (until the Lord says otherwise). That's 12 services on the first Sunday of each month in 2020 (with "special services" as the Lord directs).
