Ecclesia Church - Houston, Texas - holistic, missional, christian, community

The Advent Conspiracy began with the intention to reframe how we celebrate the birth of Jesus at Christmas.  In an effort to recover the profound story of our Savior’s birth from the grips of consumerism, business, and control, Ecclesia and a few other churches set out to redefine a faithful response to the birth of Christ. For many who decided to take these first steps a few years ago, it undoubtedly has changed our perspective and reshaped our entire lives. The story of Christ's birth is a story of promise, hope, and revolutionary love, and this story is one that has captivated the heart of the Ecclesia community.

As a church, tremendous stories that have come out of our participation and involvement in [AC] since it began in 2006; an end to the water crisis in the Mount Barclay region of Liberia, countless water wells installed in India, previously unemployed women finding work in Nicaragua, and well rehabilitations in Port au Prince.  The stories go on and on.  However in the midst of these stories, the most miraculous part is the sense of reality that our community has joined hands with brothers and sisters around the globe to celebrate Jesus well. With a united voice we’ve found comfort at Christmas proclaiming together that God is not distant, in fact He stepped into our lives in Jesus and revealed a deeper understanding of His love for all of us. We have grown as a community by crossing boundaries, socio-economic lines, physical boarders, and into new communities both here in Houston and abroad to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Today, tens of thousands of Christians in over 20 countries are taking seriously the invitation to fully explore how the birth of Jesus can truly impact our lives. Welcome to the conspiracy.

Worship Fully. Spend Less. Give More. Love All.
