About The Ecclesia
The People's Ecclesia
Who We Are
The People's Ecclesia is a covenant ecclesiastical assembly gathered under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and ordered by the authority of Holy Scripture. We are not merely an organization, denomination, or social institution. We are a people — bound together by voluntary confession of faith, mutual accountability, and a shared commitment to live faithfully under God.
We affirm that all creation is a divine grant. Life, land, authority, calling, and inheritance originate in God and are entrusted — never absolutely possessed. From the beginning, humanity was given dominion not as ownership, but as stewardship under divine sovereignty. The People's Ecclesia exists to recover this covenant pattern of entrusted dominion, where responsibility precedes authority and faithfulness governs use.
We seek to form an assembly that understands itself as a covenant trust: a people gathered under Christ, holding offices, resources, and lands as sacred inheritance to be preserved and administered with integrity.
Our Foundation
The People's Ecclesia is established under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the authority of Holy Scripture. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments serve as the supreme governing standard for all matters of faith, doctrine, order, and practice within this assembly. No human tradition, institutional policy, or temporal authority supersedes the written Word of God.
Entry into the Ecclesia occurs through covenant — not through simple enrollment or casual association. Those who join this assembly do so intentionally, choosing to walk in faith, shared responsibility, and fellowship under the teachings of Jesus.
Grounded in historic Christian confession, we remain reform-oriented, open to deeper understanding while anchored in the unchanging truth of Scripture — which includes the missing books found within the Ethiopian Bible.
Our Purpose
We envision communities where promises are honored, inheritance is preserved, and stewardship extends across generations. In this, we aim to reflect Christ, the eternal High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek — whose reign is marked by righteousness and peace.
We exist to proclaim the Gospel, teach Scripture, accept His Grace, and cultivate sacred Chapter & House assemblies marked by reverent devotion, disciplined instruction, and accountable community life.
Our Structure
The People's Ecclesia is governed as a covenant community under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and in accordance with the authority of Holy Scripture. Leadership within the Ecclesia is exercised as stewardship, not possession. All offices exist to serve the covenant community and to preserve the integrity of the Ecclesia's faith, mission, and resources.
The structure of governance is established by the Foundational Charter and stewarded through the Presiding Steward, the Council Of The Order, ordained ministers, registrars, and recognized stewardship offices. The Ecclesia recognizes the following order of authority:
- His Majesty — Jesus of the Christ — Head of the Ecclesia and eternal High Priest according to the Order of Melchizedek
- Holy Scripture & Doctrine — The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments as governing doctrinal authority
- The Foundational Charter — The constitutional document establishing doctrine, governance, and stewardship structures
- The Presiding Steward — Servant-steward entrusted with overseeing the Ecclesia
- The Council Of The Order — The governing body responsible for doctrine, interpretation, and institutional oversight

Chapters & Covenant Houses
The People's Ecclesia may recognize Ecclesial Chapters within nations, provinces, states, territories, and local communities for the administration of covenant life, fellowship, ministry, stewardship, and sacred assemblies.
Members in good standing may also establish Covenant Houses under a recognized Chapter. Covenant Houses represent covenant households, family stewardships, ministries, missions, fellowship bodies, or Grand Law Pure Trust stewardship domains aligned with the Ecclesia and her constitutional order.
Chapters and Covenant Houses are ecclesial bodies, not administrative departments. They operate under the authority of Holy Scripture, the Foundational Charter, and the Council Of The Order.
