about

Thanks for stopping by our website to see what is happening at Ecclessia413. (The name comes from Ephesians 4:13, in case you are curious). We are a group of friends who make our homes in various cities, states, and nations around the world. That is why we call ourselves the C2C Family of Churches. Our friendships spread from Coast to Coast and Beyond.

The common denominator of our friendships is Jesus Christ. Beyond that, it is something of an algebra equation to figure out how we all got together and why we have stayed on the same path all these years.

Many of us have been friends since we stumbled across some exciting Biblical truths back in the 1980s. Others have joined us at various stops along the road.

The journey has been pretty bumpy at times. A wagon wheel has fallen off now and then, and we haven’t always agreed on the best pass to take through the mountains. But, for reasons we can barely even explain, we are sticking together for the long haul. We all believe it is vital for each local church to be connected to something bigger than itself. Together, we are trying to provide that something.

Although we may demonstrate our faith in different ways, here are some things we all agree on:

 

  1. We agree that we are a family of families.
  2. We agree that we will honor and respect each other’s families
  3. We agree that internal integrity and external integration is a guiding principle.
  4. We agree that we will communicate and that communication is a key in all we do
  5. We agree that apostolic and prophetic strategy as well as pastoral gifting are important in local and trans-local teams.
  6. We agree that when we go, we go on behalf of the team and we will communicate back to the team.
  7. We agree that the way into the family of families is to be joined to someone, not something.
  8. We agree to receive trans-local teams principally as pathfinders not fire fighters

If you would like to contact someone listed on this website, feel free to do that through the local church websites. If you would like to ask a question or contribute some news or ideas for general discussion, please contact the communications team here.

Thanks again for stopping by. We are always looking for the friends we haven’t met yet.
