Ecclesia's worship style is not easy to label. 

• We sing hymns, but we don't have traditional hymnals.
• We set up and take down our worship setting each week.
• Usually, our pastor preaches from the Revised Common Lectionary.
• We read scripture twice in every service and we stand for the Gospel reading.
• Our band members are excellent, gifted musicians, but are all volunteers. 
• Some of us wear traditional Sunday clothes; others come in t-shirts and jeans.
• Each week, our pastor reads a children's story to the kids during worship.

Overall, Ecclesia's worship aims to proclaim God's inescapable love for humanity and to express gratitude for God's infinite mercy and grace. Ecclesia is both one-of-a-kind and comfortably familiar. Come see for yourself . . . because we love you already! And there's nothing you can do about it!
