About echurch

Echurch is an online community of followers of Jesus. Stephan Joubert and other Christian leaders regularly focus on different aspects of following Jesus radically.

However, it doesn’t stop there. We have a large footprint offline as well. We take the charge to care for those who can’t care for themselves very seriously. On the ground in South Africa, we are involved in humanitarian work ourselves, while supporting exciting new ministries and aid organizations financially.

Why an echurch?

  • We spread the good news of Jesus all across the virtual world. This fantastic message needs to resound clearly on the Internet.
  • We aim to inspire people all across the world, and to equip them spiritually in order to become better and more radical followers of Jesus.
  • We provide concrete assistance to people who suffer.
  • And finally, we aim to equip groups of leaders and followers of Jesus through seminars, international visits and preaching.

What does echurch believe?

  • That Jesus Christ is the only Saviour and Messiah. Through the Holy Spirit, He alone can bring us into the right relationship with God. He alone brings new life forever.
  • The Bible is God’s unique, authoritative Word.
  • The Church of the Lord includes everyone across the world who bows down before the Triune God and confesses that He is on his way to a brand-new world with us.

Double membership

Echurch is in no way an exclusive church.

Here you may have double membership, since you are most probably also involved with a local congregation somewhere! Together with your own church, Echurch wants to serve and accompany you to an even better understanding of our wonderful God.

If you are living far from a church, or are somewhere in the world where church involvement is challenging, the Echurch wants to become your church!

How does echurch function?

To be true to the reason for our existence, echurch functions in a variety of ways…

We publish and distribute weekly articles from Stephan Joubert. Every week a piece of Good News and short yet Powerful message is posted on this blog and send out to our large subscriber base — in two languages. These articles are also available in Afrikaans through our Afrikaans website.

We also have Whatever! blog posts by Stephan. These posts will tackle important issues related to radically following Jesus, and questions whether Jesus would have had a “Whatever!” attitude to the suffering we see all around us.

Finally, we publish excellent articles written by other Christian leaders for your inspiration from time to time.

The Echurch Foundation is a registered non-profit company who is managed and administered by a directorate of Christian leaders from various fields.
