Our Core Values

To see ambassadors of Jesus Christ in positions of influence on every cultural mountain in the Erie community.
About PRAYERIE
PRAYERIE is a move of God that sprang up out of a well of unity. This new stream started flowing with a collaboration of churches and business leaders who gathered together around the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Rock the Lakes festival. Since then God has expanded prayer in Erie.
WHO IS ECBLA?
ERIE CHRISTIAN BUSINESS
LEADERS ASSOCIATION
The ECBLA was formed in 2015 when we realized that there wasn’t an official Christian group of business leaders in our community. Our focus was and is to pray for our community, build life giving relationships among us, and connect business leaders and community innovators together for the good of His Kingdom.
Our mission statement is to gather on a monthly basis to pray for our community and to unite diverse evangelical churches and leaders. We believe that through unity and prayer, we can help strengthen our community.
