These 13 congregations join First Presbyterian Church, Tacoma, WA, and Trinity Presbyterian Church of Satellite Beach, FL, which joined ECO in May and early June respectively.
My request is that an UPDATED listing of the churches that have joined ECO be posted soon. It is SO GOOD to see churches working, studying and praying for God to lead them into just the right place. Thanks be to God.
They also join First Presbyterian Church of Dunellen, New Jersey that joined ECO on June 26.
Kirkwood is so excited about being in ECO … it fits us just right! Thank you Fellowship and ECO and Pueblo Presbytery for making this happen graciously!
