Every Community for Christ (ECC) is the church multiplication catalyst for One Mission Society, serving through biblically based teams in more than 50 countries. We work in deep partnership with local denominations and church associations to ignite church planting movements—cultivating healthy, growing churches that naturally multiply.

These joint ventures are firmly committed to training the trainers in 12 core church multiplication principles across the 4 vital levels of church planting:

1. 1. Pioneer Evangelism

   2. Church Planting

   3. Church Multiplication

   4. Saturation Church Planting

In the Philippines, ECC partners with local churches, denominations, organizations, and ministerial associations. Our heartbeat is Train and Multiply (T&M)—a dynamic method used for leadership training and rapid church multiplication.

Our history runs deep. Beginning in the 1980s, ECC worked exclusively with one denomination, the Faith Evangelical Church of the Philippines (FECPI), planting churches to strengthen their network.

However, the early 2000s brought a holy discontent. As ECC explored the vast potential of church planting movements, a bigger vision took hold: to plant churches throughout the entire Philippine archipelago. This vision was simply too massive for just one denomination to carry alone. Seeing the immense need of under-resourced churches across various provinces, ECC proposed a beautiful shift—sharing our resources, training, and tools beyond FECPI to foster and empower other churches nationwide.

In 2013, ECC took a strategic leap forward, launching systematic training for its paid workers in T&M Launch and Develop, basic coaching, and interactive adult learning design and facilitation.

The results have been transformative. Today, we have grown to the fourth generation of T&M trainers. By empowering the body of Christ, we have successfully scaled up to over 120 passionately active lay leaders while intentionally reducing our reliance on full-time paid staff.

Through this movement, we have developed a thriving Value Adding Network (VAN), partnering with diverse churches and denominations to provide T&M training and help them expand their own networks.

ECC currently boasts a strong ministry presence in four critical geographical areas: Tarlac, Pangasinan, Leyte, and West Samar.

Our model is proven in the crucible of crisis. After Typhoon Yolanda devastated Tacloban in November 2013, ECC immediately deployed a team to aid in recovery. In less than three years, that response blossomed into:

• • 11 new worshipping groups

  • 14 trained lay leaders

  • 5 qualified T&M trainers

Beyond local communities, our impact reaches the next generation and the global stage:

• • Campus Ministry: We sustain a vibrant student ministry at Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, developing student group leaders into the 3rd and 4th generations, while aggressively expanding into other campuses within our target areas.

  • Global Coaching: Our influence extends beyond borders, as we actively train and coach ministry leaders in Israel and Malaysia.

Officially registered as a legal entity under the Securities and Exchange Commission in October 2018, ECC in the Philippines is fully equipped, mature, and positioned for the future. We are ready to launch a massive saturation project across our five targeted provinces, pushing forward through the strategic streams of student ministries and overseas foreign workers (OFWs).

Together, we aren’t just building churches—we are fueling a movement.
