What Denomination Is Ekklesia?
Ekklesia is an interdenominational, evangelical Christian church that holds to sound biblical doctrine. It is not part of a particular denomination. It is connected with an association of churches known as the ARC which provides pastoral care and support for church leadership, adherence to orthodox doctrine, and more. There is a diverse group of churches in our association, including well-known Scum of the Earth Church in Denver, Colorado (www.ScumoftheEarth.net). You can learn more about the ARC on their website at www.arcchurch.org.
What Style of Worship Music Does Ekklesia Have?
Ekklesia uses very modern worship music. We incorporate styles such as indie rock and ambient sound to glorify God. We use music from artists like David Crowder and Cool Hand Luke, as well as modern versions of hymns. In our overall church service we strive to be relevant, personal, and biblical to help people grow closer to God.
Where is your church and when are you services?
We meet Sundays @ 7:00 p.m. we meet at our new building: 2564 Clearview Ave. NW, Canton, OH 44718, it is in the same plaza as Fred Astaire Dance Studio, off of Fulton Rd. near the Football Hall of Fame. Our gatherings are casual and interactive.
Will we ever have earlier services? Yes, as we grow we will add other services earlier in the day. Want more info on our gatherings? Look here or you can email us for more information.
Do you have anything for children?
Yes we do! As part of our children's ministry, we have child care for infants as well as a fun, relational environment for children where they can enjoy church, and learn about Jesus and the Bible. To "meet" our awesome children's director click here!
NO. But thanks for asking. People ask this because we have a unique name, we look different than a lot of churches, people keep coming back, and we are younger...but no, we're not a cult. We actually hold to conservative evangelical theology (view "What We Believe" here), and believe in all the major Christian creeds (i.e. the Apostle's Creed). And to top it all off, we hardly ever serve Kool-aid.
COME to one of our gatherings on Sunday nights @ 7:00pm. It is a casual and interactive time of worship, teaching, and community.

Yes! In the U.S., 3,650 churches close every year, and 80-85% of existing churches are plateaued or declining. The majority of churches that are growing are mostly from transfer growth, which is people who are already Christians switching churches. In the New Testament, the church grew through conversion, not transfer growth. The average church plant has 70% non-Christians on their first Sunday, which is why church planting is one the most effective methods of evangelism! The Ohio area where we will be planting our church (Stark County) has well over 200,000 non-Christians. This is surely enough people for another church!
