how we do church
our HUBS are focused on four areas:​​
HUBS
ECHO HUBS
this is how our churches start
-
PRAYER - we are praying for you and the community you live in.
-
LOVE - we want to show love to both you and the local community.
-
CONNECTION - we want to help you connect with God and others.
-
GROWTH - we want to help you grow in faith.
​
ECHO HUBS are led by two people in a particular locality or based around a certain age group or interest. ​
WE WANT TO...
- help you build strong relationships.
- help you explore and grow in faith.
- see our HUBS bring community transformation.
WEEKLY CONNECTION / SMALLER GROUPS
CHURCHES
ECHO CHURCHES
Once a cluster of HUBS forms within a locality or a group begins to grow larger than 30 people, an ECHO Church has the potential of being formed.
The ECHO Church will gather for worship, prayer, teaching and community. Our weekly gatherings are created to make space for those who may have entered through our HUBS and want to encounter the presence of Jesus with other believers.
The worship is vibrant, the atmosphere is friendly and the teaching is understandable whilst helping you to both grow in your faith and apply it to your daily life.

WE WANT TO BE A CHURCH THAT...
- makes it easy for everyone to walk in; through building community in their HUB.
- helps you grow in your faith and be inspired to go and live out what you have learnt in the week.
- makes you feel at home from the moment you step through the door.
ECHO Gatherings are an opportunity for all the HUBS and churches to gather together for worship, prayer, celebration and to connect as a wider community.
It can become easy for individual HUBS or small churches to forget that they are part of a bigger Church. Therefore, these gatherings are designed to encourage all the HUBS. They also give us an opportunity to celebrate the amazing things that God is doing in each HUBS and churches. We will create space to celebrate baptisms and take communion as a wider community of people.

GATHERINGS
ECHO GATHERINGS
WE FOCUS ON...
- investing in our HUBS, rather than the traditional 'Sunday Morning' church.
- building community where we are, rather than in town we have never been to.
