Distinctives

Local Leadership

ProEcclesia is a ministry carried out by Polish leaders, with the cooperation of foreign missionaries, for the sake of Polish churches. We combine global perspectives and international resources with local expertise. We love our country and its people and our commitment to them is not temporary or dependant on outside factors. We are cost-effective, locally accountable and enjoy the respect of other church leaders in Poland.

 Missional Thinking 

We are driven by the desire to bring the good news within reach of as many Polish people as possible. As missionaries we do not expect unreached people to come to the knowledge of Christ on our terms. Instead we seek to remove potential barriers, build bridges, and communicate the Gospel in culturally appropriate ways. Recognizing that healthy churches must be missional in character we seek to embed this value in the DNA of our church plants as well as help existing congregations become more missional.

 Focus on Multiplication

God gives growth, but it is our task to continuously revise our methods in order to remove potential barriers to church growth and church multiplication. Our goal is to see both new and existing churches multiply and we are committed to seek culturally appropriate methods of church multiplication in Poland.

Commitment to Church Community

ProEcclesia is “for the church”. We value church as the body of Christ and the primary vehicle for accomplishing God’s mission in the world. We have emerged as a ministry of a local church and we remain a part of it, enjoying the blessings of community and the accountability our local church provides even as we serve other churches in Poland.

 Leadership Empowerment

We believe that investment in leadership produces far-reaching, long-term impact far beyond what we could accomplish through our direct efforts. Our goal is to equip Polish churches and their leadership to missionaly engage their unique contexts, rather than promote a specific centrally-sponsored model of ministry.

Inclusiveness & Collaboration

We realize that we cannot accomplish our mission on our own and we actively seek to include others whether they are churches, organizations, or individuals committed to the common cause of advancing God’s kingdom in Poland. We seek to recognize and respect the Holy Spirit’s work through others who might not be affiliated with us and collaborate with them whenever possible
