Support Ecclesia
This is free to walk into.
It costs something to keep open.
Ecclesia is a free community — outdoor Morning Prayer walks, formation gatherings at Germania Springs and Camp Lee, and a Tuesday 6:30am live prayer that runs whether five people show up or fifty. None of it costs you anything to join. But it costs something to sustain.
What this pays for
Trail permits. Sound equipment. The formation tools that hold it together.
Morning Prayer walks
Monthly outdoor gatherings at Germania Springs, Camp Lee trails, and McClellan City parks. Free to attend, always.
Tuesday FB Live
6:30am prayer every Tuesday. 20 minutes. A reading, a silence, a plain prayer. Free forever.
Attune formation app
The companion app for the daily offices and prayer practice. Free tier always available.
The tools
Website, email, the infrastructure that keeps this reachable between walks.

Who's behind this
A pastor, two sending churches, and a trail.
Ecclesia is a fresh expression of church — something new, grown out of two existing United Methodist congregations in northeast Alabama. It's not trying to replace your church. It's trying to reach the people who've stopped going.
I'm Matt Headley — ordained, burned out, came back. This is what coming back looks like.
