Ecumenical Church

ECUMENICAL CHURCH MISSION

“The Mission of the Ecumenical Church is to bring people to Jesus and Membership in His family, develop them to Christlike Maturity, and equip them for their Ministry in the church and life Mission in the World in order to magnify God’s name.”

The Ecumenical Church was founded by Bishop Redfern in 1995. Bishop Redfern wanted to reach people who were not active members of traditional or legacy churches. Perhaps they were at one time but had fallen by the wayside. They were church dropouts or put outs. Some were on drugs, unwed mothers, homeless, or even abused by church leaders or members. These are the people the Ecumenical Church wants to reach.
For twenty years the Ecumenical Church has sought to be a place of refuge for the unwanted. As a body, the focus of the church has been Matthew 25:35-36. The Pastors, congregations poured their hearts into serving the broken and unwanted.

Ecumenical Church is committed to supporting education and development of job skills; helping people meet food, clothing and shelter needs; working with children, families and the elderly; and providing support for health and recovery.

Mission
Ecumenical Church members are committed to living the Two Great Commandments and carrying out The Great Commission. We are not separate from but active members in our local Christian Church. Where there is no organized church, we are the church.’

35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
