Crews at Echoes
At Echoes, Crews are disciple-making communities where people are known, cared for, and encouraged as they follow Jesus together.
A Crew is a team on mission, focused on relationships that strengthen people to echo the life of Jesus, reach others, and multiply that life through community. Crews consist of 8–14 people and gather during two 12-week seasons each year, creating intentional spaces for discipleship, care, and growth
Where discipleship, care, and community come together.
Life was never meant to be lived alone.
While weekend services are important, many of the deepest relationships and greatest moments of spiritual growth happen through consistent community.
In a Crew, you'll find people who know you, pray for you, encourage you, and walk alongside you as you follow Jesus.
Life change happens best in community. Crews are how we follow Jesus, together.
