Ekklesia Church at Raleigh

About this church

Ekklesia Church at Raleigh is a Christian community meeting on a shared campus called the New Hope Collaborative. Its name comes from the Greek word for church and reflects a view of church as a living community rather than a building. Ekklesia welcomes people across identities and backgrounds, supports women in every leadership role, fully affirms LGBTQ+ members, and pursues racial justice with nonprofit campus partners.

Coffee and light refreshments begin Sunday at 10:30 a.m., followed by worship at 10:45. Gatherings include live music, a message from Scripture, and age-appropriate Ekklesia Kids and Connekkt Youth programming from birth through high school. Parking is available on the south and west sides of the campus, with additional spaces in the neighboring SECU bank lot to the south. The church’s values include welcome, authenticity, partnership, humility, and generosity, with a shared commitment to love God and neighbor. Rather than requiring uniformity on disputed questions, the community describes itself as diverse in denominational history and theological outlook. Sermons are available online, and the Sunday page offers the most complete visitor guidance. Because the building is shared with partner organizations, newcomers should look for Ekklesia’s signs and use the published sanctuary location.
