Dear Ekklesia Family,
We have made the difficult decision to end Ekklesia as we've known it for the past 12 years.
So many good things have happened here at Ekklesia and the relationships formed here were transformative. There are many things we celebrate and intend to carry forward from Ekklesia but at CTK, we are convinced that God is calling us as a church to move in the direction of integration.
More and more over the last several years, Ekklesia was functioning as its own church rather than as a part of the Christ the King Church family and that meant we were missing a whole generation’s presence, perspectives, and important contributions to the life of our church.
We really believe we have more to offer young adults through relationship and collaboration than was possible the way things were.
We also believe that intergenerational ministry teams allow us to benefit from the different views, abilities, perspectives, and ideas we all bring to the table and to the mission of Jesus.
So, the path we’ve chosen is one of integration that will offer young adults a rich opportunity for community and discipleship both with their peers and within the context of the whole body of Christ.
