Key Values

We have four key values at ECHOP that fuel the vision of seeing our world changed for Jesus Christ. These values are Prayer, Worship, Mission, and Justice.

Prayer
Everything begins and ends with intimacy. This is our goal, our focus, and our purpose. As we spend quality time with Jesus in the Secret Place, our lives are transformed. As our lives are transformed to look more like His, we impact the world around us.

Worship
Worship leads to a deeper intimacy with Jesus. We worship him with song, dance, poetry, art…etc. We also worship Him with our laid down lives. Worship brings passion, desire, and focus to our lives and our prayers.

Mission
As we become intimate with the Holy Spirit, we begin to see the world through His eyes. We begin to see the mission field around us. Our heart breaks for the things that break His. Because we are infected with the Gospel, we cannot help but impact the world around us. Whether this is Beal and 98 or Africa, focused intimacy with Jesus causes us to change the world.

Justice
Injustice is a wrong that needs to be righted- hatred, sickness, poverty, abuse, abortion…etc. We begin with intercession for justice. Intercession is simply crying out to God on another’s behalf. But we don’t stay there. We find ways that we can put feet to our prayer. We feed the hungry, love the abused, speak for the silent, heal the sick, and raise the dead.
