Our Expertise
 

David Posthuma founded E-Church Essentials with the vision of creating an online software program that non-technical ministry professionals could use, empowering them to extend their relational ministry efforts online. David's goal was to create online tools that enabled the Church to fullfill the four key missional directives we find in the New Testament, within an online environment:

  • Evangelism
  • Discipleship
  • Christ-Centered Community
  • Equip and Mobilize People Into Ministry Service
