ECCLESIA 2021
Join us for Ecclesia 2021: The United States and the Millennial Reign of Messiah. The word “ecclesia” means “assembly of the called out ones” in Greek. It is the word in the New Testament for the Body of Believers. Each year, The Truth In The Spirit hosts an Ecclesia event to unite the Body of Believers in our region.
For this year’s Ecclesia gathering, we are gathering believers in Tidewater, VA and the nation to remove all distractions and barriers to fulfilling God’s purpose and start to focus our attention for His will for America: for the PRESENT and for the FUTURE. Our lives as a nation go beyond the present day to day challenges we face; it’s time to reestablish God’s Vision for America!
