Our Purpose, Mission & Beliefs

Our Purpose

The Evangelical Crusade Christian Church (ECCC) is called to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ and to make disciples who will impact their families, communities and the kingdom of God. We are committed to seeing Him formed in each believer. We believe a relationship with God through Jesus Christ is the best way to live. Our purpose, therefore, is to provide “a place of refuge, retreat, transformation and restoration” (1 Samuel 22:1-2) for all who fellowship with us.

Our Mission

ECCC’s mission is to develop our members and others through instruction and spiritual teaching. We provide guidance on the articles of faith and seek to advance our community’s spiritual growth and enlightenment. Additionally, we engage in local and foreign missions; aid in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ; educate, prepare, train, and ordain Christian men and women for Christian ministry.
