One of our favorite things to do is share meals with all our friends who bring Sunday dinners to the Multicultural House! Please take a moment to sign up for one Sunday dinner, or one a semester, or one a month. Every meal served helps feed our students' bodies and souls, and we hear it does the same for our dinner hosts.

We love to connect with friends old and new at our Sunday Night Dinners at the Multicultural House (1146 E. Cherry)! We invite faith communities and other groups to bring a dinner to share with about 25 students and then stick around to share food and conversation with our students. We ask that if y...

Today is the big day! It's the day we kick off our Summer of Sustainability!

This year marks 65 years of being the progressive campus ministry at Missouri State University, while also serving students from several other local campuses. In celebration of those 65 years, we’re launching a bold fundraising campaign to help ensure that Ekklesia remains strong and sustainable for generations of college students still to come. Together, we can support students looking for a place where they will be welcomed just as they are, where they can ask big questions about faith and life, and where there is no pressure to conform or pretend.

For 65 years, Ekklesia has offered students belonging, brave conversation, nourishing meals, spiritual exploration, leadership opportunities, and a community that reminds them they do not have to walk alone. Now we are asking those who believe in this ministry to help carry it forward.

Throughout the summer, we’ll be sharing stories from across Ekklesia’s history and inviting you to invest in the next chapter. Whether you give $6.50, $65, $650, or another amount that is meaningful to you, every gift helps create a more sustainable future for this vital ministry.

Sixty-five years is a remarkable legacy. Together, we can make sure it is only the beginning.

The giving link is in the first comment. Please share with your networks and help us meet our goal of raising $65,000 in 65 days to celebrate 65 years of faithful, inclusive ministry.

AND!!! Mark your calendars now to join us in celebration at our Founders Day Worship & Potluck Meal in the Park on the evening of Sunday, September 27.
