About us

OUR VISION IS TO HELP YOU DISCOVER YOUR CALL

OUR vision

Ekklesia Training Center is a leadership academy and as a non-profit organization, we exist for the sole purpose of educating youth and adults, so they are equipped and empowered to serve their community in various capacities with excellence. We operate out of​ a biblical worldview that understands the necessity of Christians making a contribution in their world. ETC is a leadership and youth development center, equipping and preparing generations to sustain their communities. As “Cultural Influencers”, we are trained to go into different markets or sectors: government, business, education, family, religion, arts & entertainment, media; and add value​ and influence. Everyday people do extraordinary things when they are trained, exposed, and have opportunities. According to Matt. 28, we believe going into these sectors is indeed going into the world. These 7 sectors shape our culture and influence how we live,​ so we purpose to be a part of it; therefore shaping our culture. All of our programs teach, train, and develop; from a multigenerational approach. In particular our degree of ministry program allows students to have a concentration in each of the 7 sector disciplines. The Degree of Ministry Program, prepares someone for dedicated service verses use of their education for career pursuits. Other offerings of ETC relate and connect to different sectors, providing direct services and opportunities for making contributions.

OUR values

Our core values that are applied to all of our processes are: stewardship, accountability, morals, values, ethics, and integrity. These are values we share in collaborations, networking, and community partnerships. These shared values are what sustains both private and public lives/sectors.

Stewardship

"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 4:10-11a

Accountability

"And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account." Hebrews 4:13

Morals

"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Values

"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God." Colossians 3:1

Ethics

"A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight." Proverbs 11:1

Integrity

"Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out." Proverbs 10:9
