Welcome
Our heart at Ephrata Community Church is to connect people with God and others. Everything we have done and will do—in our congregation, in our community, in our region—flows from that core desire.

SATURDAY 7:45 P.M. & SUNDAY 12:30 P.M.
Are you new to Ephrata Community Church? Have you wondered who we are, what we do, and why we do it? As a congregation we are very grateful for the good work that God is doing among us as we seek to connect people to God and others. We are also excited about the people God is joining to us on this journey.
Our time together in Connection 101, 201, and 301 is designed to give new people at ECC a clearer understanding of how we can know God through Jesus Christ, what He has done among us as a congregation, some insight into how He has made you, and finally how you can connect to ECC.
Because Connections Pathway runs each month, there’s no need to attend three weeks in a row. But you do need to take the classes in order. A light meal will also be provided.
Interested? There’s no need to sign up. Just come join us!

Event Details
Broken Free is a ministry that exists to see the body of Christ experience the freedom it was set free for in the area of sexual sin, bondage, and confusion. Worship Gatherings are currently designed to minister to men who desire freedom in all areas of life, and consist of a time of worship and prayer as we seek the Lord’s presence, followed by teaching from Justin Rule and personal ministry time. (Broken Free also has a separate small group ministry to wives who are in marriages being impacted by sexual sin, led by Whitney Rule.)
Broken Free Worship Gatherings are not accountability groups or circle group discussions. They are times of engaging the Lord, being sharpened by His Word, and being equipped with truth. While any man may come as his schedule allows and start or stop at any time, it is strongly encouraged to commit to a season of at least 12 monthly gatherings, and the suggested homework, assignments and challenges given by the leadership.
You can learn more at www.BrokenFree.org.

Justin Rule
Justin Rule is the lead teacher and facilitator at Broken Free. Broken Free is a ministry that started in 2015 through Threshold Church with the mission of seeing the church, the Bride of Christ, set free from sexual captivity and confusion. After being set free from 20 years of intense sexual addiction and identity issues, Justin realized his calling to ‘set the captives free’. Justin Rule is also the Co-Founder of Coolidge Academy, and the Co-Founder of a digital branding company – SPARROW.
