Who we are
A people called out into Christ.
Ecclesia City International is an apostolic movement, a teaching centre and a network cutting across states and nations, carrying the burden of Christ wherever the gospel must be preached.
What “Ecclesia” means to us
Not a label. A life.
To us, Ecclesia is not a name for a church gathering. It is a people called out into Christ, governed by the Holy Spirit, disciplined in life, full of love, grounded in truth and exercising divine authority on the earth.
Ecclesia City was not raised as a passive assembly. It was raised to confront stagnation, to awaken believers, to break the false confinement of the Church to buildings and to produce a people who understand that the Church is a living body in movement under Christ.
Our birth impulse is a divine revelation of movement, crusades, evangelism, intercession and the building of a people. That is why we are mobile, penetrative and formative: an apostolic movement with local expressions.
Sustained by loveOur Mission
Ecclesia City exists to awaken hearts, restore identity and raise a people governed by the life of Christ: disciples who live from God’s presence, reveal His kingdom and carry His nature into every sphere of society.
Our Vision
Cities transformed by the visible reality of God, communities shaped by truth, homes rebuilt by love, and generations aligned with heaven’s design. A people so rooted in Christ that their lives become living altars.
Our Love
Love is not our language alone; it is our life. A love that heals, restores, confronts, carries and gives itself away; a love that does not seek to impress, but to reveal Christ.
What we believe
The doctrine of Christ is non-negotiable.
Every arm, leader and expression of Ecclesia City stands on the same centre. Charisma, popularity or noise can never replace spiritual authority rooted in Christ.
Salvation
The core of ministry: the essential entry into the life of Christ, though never the end of our concern for a soul.
Grace
The nature of God that embraces and transforms. Not a license for compromise, but divine supply for faithful living.
Obedience
Non-negotiable in both the walk and the work of the believer. A culture of disobedience is contrary to the mind of this house.
Discipleship
A must. Growth comes corporately and individually through deliberate discipleship, not by excitement or mere attendance.
Church & Kingdom
The Church is the man in Christ and believers in fellowship; the Kingdom is the wider government in which order and authority flow.
The Fruit of the Spirit
Our culture, protected at all cost. We guard character with the same seriousness with which we guard revelation and power.
The people we are raising
Known. Grounded. Sent.
Ecclesia City exists to raise a people who experience Christ, know their identity in Him, stand in sound doctrine, grow in relationship with God and man, and exercise their authority on earth by the Holy Spirit.
The discipleship pathway
Awakening to commissioning
Awakening
People come into hearing, believing and responding: encounter, spiritual stirring and first surrender.
Alignment
Positioned in truth. Foundation teachings, identity in Christ, kingdom consciousness, grace and obedience.
Formation
Built, broken and rebuilt by deep teaching: prayer, Scripture, character, accountability and service.
Commissioning
Sent, not retained: released into service, evangelism, intercession, teaching or leadership.
How we are led
Ordered, accountable, apostolic.
Ecclesia City is led by its President and Undershepherd, Evangelist Udeme Devon, with an Apostolic Council, an Oversight Team and directors for each arm. No leader functions outside accountability, and major decisions pass through prayer, Scripture, counsel and peace.
