WHO WE ARE
& WHAT WE DO

Ekklesia Muskogee is a Reformed Baptist church that gathers for worship in Muskogee, Oklahoma. We confess the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith. We affirm the Five Solas of the Reformation as well as the Doctrines of Grace (otherwise known as the Five Points of Calvinism), and each of our pastors would not be ashamed to be called a Calvinist. We are a church led by elders (also called pastors and overseers in the scriptures), of which there is a plurality. Our mission is to make disciples, love cities, and plant churches.

We believe the local church is a community of regenerated believers who confess Jesus Christ as Lord. They have been reconciled both to God and one another through the work of Jesus Christ. In obedience to the Bible they organize under qualified leadership, gather regularly for preaching and worship, observe Baptism and the Lord’s Supper as biblical sacraments; they are unified by the Holy Spirit and disciplined for holiness; they scatter to fulfill the Great Commandment (to love God and man) as well as the Great Commission (to make disciples of all nations). They are to do all this as missionaries to the world for God’s glory and people’s good.

We believe local churches exist to make disciples, love cities, and plant churches that share the same vision.

Our worship gatherings are completely centered on the gospel, for the glory of God and the good of all people.

We worship God the Father, Son, and Spirit together through the preaching and receiving of the gospel from the Bible, singing, praying, taking the Lord’s Supper, observing Baptism as the outward sign of faith in Jesus, as well as the giving of our finances to fuel the mission of Jesus’ church.

The Ekklesia Muskogee building is located at 700 N 4th St. Muskogee, OK 74401

In addition to gathering for worship every Sunday, we have Community Groups that typically meet at least once per week. If the local church is like a family, the Sunday gathering is like a family reunion and Community Groups are like an immediate family. Each week we gather in these smaller groups to share a meal, pray, study the Bible, discuss the previous week’s sermon, and generally seek one another’s good.

We seek to make disciples of Jesus, in obedience to his commands.

We believe a disciple is someone who has received a new identity from Jesus, by grace through faith, which leads to new activity for Jesus. The new identity we receive in Christ includes adoption into God’s family, forgiveness of sins, as well as being counted righteous before God. By God’s grace, this new identity leads to new activity. This new activity is summed up in one word: holiness. To be holy means to be set apart in obedience to God. This is the true aim of every Christian because the Holy Spirit works in them both to will and to work his good pleasure, though we all stumble in many ways. These blessings are received through faith in Jesus and his gospel, to the praise of God’s glorious grace.

We believe unbelievers need to hear the Gospel and be exhorted to turn from their sin and put their faith in Jesus alone so that they may be saved from their sin, escaping the wrath of God and becoming a citizen of heaven.

In addition, we believe Christians need to hear the Gospel and be exhorted in much the same way, because the Gospel is the fuel for the Christian life. As the Holy Spirit changes us we continually gaze at Jesus and his commands become a joy to obey. We believe ordinary means of grace such as prayer, Bible study, corporate worship, and being engaged in Christian community are vital for the life of a Christian.

As we seek to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, we all also seek to love our neighbor. 

We believe we should love our city through evangelism, prayer, and practical service. This includes engaging people with the Gospel outside of church gatherings, inviting people to worship gatherings and community groups, as well as being involved in various organizations that are already working to make Muskogee peaceful and prosperous. We are also open to starting new ministries when needed to better love our neighbors. We strive to always be seeking the peace and prosperity of the city as a whole (Jeremiah 29:4-11), as well as loving our neighbors individually (Luke 10:25-37).

We plant churches so that more people will be saved by Jesus as well as grow in love and service to both God and neighbor.

We believe the promise of Acts 1:8 will be ultimately fulfilled by Jesus, through his church, as they obey the great commission. For Ekklesia Muskogee, planting churches is a natural extension of Jesus’ command for us to make disciples of all nations. Church planting is a priority for us. We believe the book of Acts shows this: the way the first Christians sought to fulfill the great commission (Matthew 28:19-20) was by planting churches that would preach the gospel, love God, love their neighbors, and seek to plant other churches. Through churches, people hear about Jesus, come to faith in him, worship God, experience true community, and become part of Jesus’ mission here on earth. By God’s grace, we are committed to what we believe is the same mission of the Apostles in the book of Acts: plant the gospel in different communities across the globe by planting churches.
