Ekklesia is a people movement designed to operate 24/7 in the marketplace for the purpose of having an impact on everybody and everything.
Problem: We Have Unbiblical View of Work and Ministry Church leaders often fail to see work as a holy calling. Church leadership has spent lots of its energy equipping us to do their ministry, instead of our ministry in the workplace.
