Heaven is breaking into the earth
The Gospel of the Kingdom is good news: heaven, the way life should be, is breaking into the earth. For almost two decades ECMC has equipped ordinary believers and entire churches to live it out: to encounter God's extravagant kindness, walk in the light with trusted people, find freedom through forgiveness and repentance, and experience the empowering presence of the Spirit.
We are a 501(c)(3) mission agency, not a program for sale. Your giving keeps the door open for the fearful, the captive, the isolated, and the hungry, and it strengthens local churches to keep making disciples long after an event ends.
“To unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.”Ephesians 1:10 (ESV)
Money should never stand between you and an encounter with God.
We believe an encounter with God should be an invitation, not a purchase. So we ask partners to carry the majority of the cost, so people can come before they know why they'd want to.
- A partner backstops a weekendIndividuals commit to cover a weekend's costs if registrations fall short.
- We open the doors wideLow-income communities, rural towns, pre-Christians, and teens can attend at little or no cost.
- Lives change, and the circle growsParticipants who are able may give afterward, but no one has to. The weekend happens either way.
Your backstop means we never have to ask, “Can this town afford us?” Only, “Is this town ready?”
Come curious. Leave changed.
I thought, I'm just going to check out what this is like as an observer… But then it was the first teaching, the first testimony, and it was like an arrow through my heart. I was like, ‘Oh, this is for me.’ … We walked away from that having both experienced a lot of healing, my wife and I.
You have to remember the truth of God's word, that while we were sinners, with the knowledge of every bad thing we would ever do, God still chose to die for you.
My dad sent me to an EncounterGod Weekend, and I was extremely skeptical… I saw the Holy Spirit working in people's lives in ways that I didn't believe were possible… I was truly able to give up my old life. I met Jesus.
Up until that encounter, I would not have considered myself a disciple of Christ… I was met with the prodigal Father… I was being lavished with the love of the Father, and that acceptance that I think I craved all of my upbringing was received in the person of God.
