Sunday Services

Our goal for a Sunday Service is to create an environment that is welcoming to all, wherever they are on their life journey and to provide meaningful opportunities to encounter Jesus, receive teaching, worship and prayer. We value informality, authenticity and friendliness during our services. We encourage diverse forms and styles of worship, which cultivate our awareness of His presence in our midst. Our worship ought also to allow for a balance of expression, which engages our spirit, mind, emotions, and body.

A Multigenerational Community

At the heart of who we are is a multi-generational community. Everyone is welcome to participate and have a role, from the oldest to the youngest. Practically, this means that children and youth are an active part of our worship services and community events. Although we have specific ministries geared towards children and youth, we believe strongly that they are not separate, but that they are part of the greater community and are encouraged to share their gifts on Sunday mornings, during community gatherings throughout the week and within other ECC ministries. 

ECC believes that children are the future church and are an integral part of the community today.  Jesus demonstrated valuing and prioritizing children and we strive to model his actions in how we approach community life at ECC.

We believe that parents are primarily responsible for the spiritual growth and development of their children. In particular, ECC Children’s Ministry desires to come alongside parents to support and encourage them in this journey. ECC seeks to provide children with age-appropriate teaching to help them grow in their knowledge, love, and devotion to Jesus. This growth is supported and encouraged by committed leaders who nurture their developing faith and provide many opportunities to develop friendships in a faith community that is fun, supportive and responsive to each child’s unique needs.

In the same way, we believe that you’re never too old to use your gifts to serve, mentor, care for others or be involved in our ministries. We believe that the seniors in our congregation offer invaluable wisdom and we want them to speak actively into the lives of the other generations
