Following JesusTogetherFollowing JesusTogether
Ecclesia is a community of believers gathering in homes throughout Tulsa to experience authentic community, intentional discipleship, and transformative service.
What is Ecclesia?
The Bible says that we don't go to church, but that we are the church (Ephesians 2:21-22). Ecclesia is a community of believers gathering together in homes, coffee shops, parks, and other locations throughout Tulsa.
We follow the model found in Acts 2:42-47, creating spaces for people to share meals, study scripture, pray together, and build authentic relationships. Our gatherings typically have fewer than 30 people, allowing for greater intimacy and interdependence between friends.
Our Vision
The vision of Ecclesia is to reach out to people and show them the love of Jesus. We create a church that follows the biblical pattern through gathering weekly, mentoring through smaller groups, and serving our community together.
Community
We believe the church is not a building but a community of believers growing together in Christ.
"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common."
Our Gatherings
We currently have three gatherings in different parts of Tulsa. Each gathering is a unique expression of our shared vision to create authentic community.
Midtown Gathering
Our original gathering located in the heart of Midtown Tulsa. We share a meal together, study Scripture, pray, and build deep connections.
Southwest Gathering
Our Southwest Tulsa gathering is a family-focused community that emphasizes fellowship and practical applications of faith.
Youth Gathering
Our youth-focused gathering creates space for teens and young adults to connect, ask questions, and grow in their faith together.
Our Ecosystem
The vision of Ecclesia, Greek for "gathering," follows the precepts outlined in Acts 2:42. Our ecosystem is built on three foundational elements that guide everything we do.
Gathering Together
People in Ecclesia gather together weekly to grow together. We do this around the table because we believe that food brings people together and is a biblical spiritual discipline (Acts 2:46, Luke 22:14-20, Acts 20:7). We read scripture together and have a time of discussion and prayer.
Discipleship
Besides our different weekly gatherings, we also have different discipleship groups for men and women for prayer, confession, Bible study, personal mentorship, and encouragement.
Serving Our Community
We strive to serve as Jesus served. We encourage everyone to find practical ways to love their neighbor. We meet needs person-to-person through shared generosity and acts of service.
