Sponsor Churches and Planning Meetings

Here's an update on what's happening with Echo Bible Church:

1) On Saturday September 6, our sponsor, ZeroChurch will be holding its first public preview service. It will take place at 5pm at Bear Valley Community Church (7900 Precinct Line Road in Colleyville). If you are wanting to be a part of EBC, please help us support our sponsor by attending this service.

2) It is now possible to contribute financially to Echo Bible Church. The easiest way to do so is to write a check to Fellowship of the Parks (one of our sponsor churches), write "Echo Bible Church" in the memo line, and either turn in the check in person to Julie Zuefeldt (our financial wizard) or myself OR mail the check directly to Fellowship of the Parks (9900 North Beach, Keller, TX 76248).

3) We will be having an Echo Bible Church planning meeting on Wednesday September 10 at 6:30pm at our home. If you are interested in being a part of this meeting, please email for directions at echobiblechurch@gmail.com. Anyone who wants to be a part of EBC may attend.

4) If you do want to be a part of the planning meetings, we will spend some time discussing the book Jim and Casper Go to Church by Jim Henderson and Matt Casper. This is a series of church visits and dialogues between a Christian and an Atheist that will help us to understand the world in which we are starting this new church.

Thanks so much for your interest in Echo!

Echo Bible Church

If you're looking for the official bulletin board of Echo Bible Church, you have found it. There is not much news to report yet, but here's what we've got so far:

Our first gathering will take place at 11am on October 19 at the home of Jason and Angie Kimbrell in Hurst (I will post their address as the date gets closer). At this gathering, we will lay out our plans, vision, strategy, and tentative structure for EBC. This will be the first step in a long journey to begin something new. I have found that there are a lot of churches around here, but none like what we are envisioning.

Stay posted for news and updates in this exciting new endeavor.
