Founded by a group of believers who wanted to reach those who didn't connect with other church communities, Ecclesiax was launched as church with an artistic twist: worship included painting, poetry, music and at times even juggling.
"They wanted to see what they could do differently that would engage [un-churched] people," says Cameron Montgomery, the church's pastor. "They had people bring secular music and explain how it connected to God and their journey, they often rearranged the seats into a circle, and one guy [wrote] a hip-hop/rap for a sermon."
