Groups
We believe spiritual formation happens in relationship. Groups create space to seek God, build meaningful friendships, share life together, and grow in community. Whether you're looking for a long-term group, a shared interest, support during a specific season, or a smaller circle for deeper connection, there are a variety of ways to get involved.
Life is Better Together
Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey.
We believe spiritual formation happens in relationship. As we share meals, tell the truth about our lives, pray for one another, celebrate, grieve, and learn together, God uses community to shape us in profound ways.
Groups help make a large church feel smaller by creating trusted spaces where friendships can grow and faith can be practiced together. They are one of the primary ways we seek God, care for one another, and participate in the life of the community.

Serving as a Way of Life
We believe serving others is one of the rhythms that shapes us.
It’s how we practice being present, caring for our city and the world by participating in something bigger than ourselves.
Serving at Ecclesia is about more than simply filling a role. Through serving, we practice being present, carrying one another’s burdens, and participating in the kind of community Jesus invites us to become.
Partnering with organizations and neighbors across Houston working toward care, justice, education, stability, and community flourishing.
These relationships create opportunities to serve alongside trusted local leaders, support vulnerable neighbors, and participate in meaningful work throughout the city.
Local Partners
Global Partners

Through these partnerships, we participate in efforts centered on education, spiritual formation, community development, and care while learning from the perspectives and experiences of global leaders and communities.
Immersive Experiences
Immersive experiences create opportunities to learn through presence, relationship, and cross-cultural engagement.
These experiences are designed not simply to serve, but to listen, grow, build relationships, and encounter God through shared experiences that deepen compassion and expand perspective.
