A community that is serious about helping people connect with their God dream.
RAISON D'ETRE
"Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you." -Jesus.

Where does the name ECCLESIAX come from? What is the point?
In classical Greek "Ecclesia" means "the called out people". The Greek letter "x" is the first letter in the word Kristos, which is Greek for "Christ". So Ecclesiax means "the called out people of Christ".
What is one of the most valued things at Ecclesiax?
Relationships. With God. With people. We're a community who is learning together what it means to be modern-day disciples of Jesus.
Would children be welcome at Ecclesiax?
Absolutely! Kids are amazing and we want to be a community that honors and empowers children to be who they are.
Are you a Christian Church?
Yes.
Are you connected to a religious denomination?
We are associated with the Free Methodist Church in Canada.
What is the "Worship Palette"?
The Worship Palette is our version of a crazy God encounter through
art, music, sacred readings, God stories, wine
and bread. It happens on Sunday mornings at 11:07a.m. Come and be home.
