ECO Theology

One of ECO’s values is “A Livable Theology”. The strength of our faith is how we live out our Reformed beliefs in a relentlessly contextual way.

Gender, Sex, and the Kingdom “This book provided such a clear, biblical framework for understanding gender and sexuality in light of God’s kingdom. It challenged me to think more deeply and gave me a greater appreciation for God’s design.

Person

Lord of Time: Living in the Rest and Reign of God “A truly transformative read! This book helped me see time through a theological lens and reshaped the way I approach rest, work, and worship in daily life.”

Person

Politics and the Church “An insightful and balanced exploration of the church’s role in politics. I walked away with a better understanding of how to engage faithfully without losing sight of the gospel.”
