Ecclesia is a relational network of churches, leaders and movements that seek to equip, partner and multiply missional churches and movements.
This is a question you may be asking yourself. This may be a question your congregation is asking you. This also maybe a question you are asking to all the churches that are in the network.
JR Briggs, a pastor at the Renew Community in Lansdale, PA, just published a great blog post beginning to address this question here.
Ft. Wayne is home to many firsts, some you’ve probably heard of (the game of basketball) and some you’ve probably not (baking powder).
It’s also home to the first Ecclesia church plant in Indiana. Ben & Deb Sternke are walking with a small core team in starting Christ Church.
We are excited to have Life on the Vine as a part of the Ecclesia Network. Their young congregation is located in the NW Suburbs of Chicago in the community of Long Grove, IL.
Life on the Vine is co-pastored by Geoff Holdsclaw, Matt Tebbe, and Dave Fitch. They are in the process of helping to start two new churches in the Chicago area in the next two years. We are excited to join with them in multiplying gospel communities throughout the Mid-West.
On October 24, 2009 we had the privilege of hosting Darrell Guder and Andy Crouch for a seminar in Suburban Philadelphia. Below, you will find the audio from those sessions.
