We are honored to share an important transition in the life and future of our ecclesia.
Effective January 1, 2027, Sandhills Ecclesia will officially transition to Crown Ecclesia. This name change reflects a maturing call and a clarified assignment—one that speaks to identity, authority, and the stewardship of Kingdom responsibility entrusted to this body. The name Crown represents leadership under Heaven’s authority and a people prepared to walk in wisdom, humility, and purpose.
This transition will take place alongside the establishment of Jeremy and Joelene Friedman as Lead Apostles of Crown Ecclesia. Jeremy and Joelene have served faithfully with proven character, spiritual depth, and a genuine love for the Body of Christ. Their apostolic leadership marks a significant step forward as the ecclesia continues to grow into its calling and influence.
Dr. Ron & Adina Horner will serve as overseers to Jeremy and Joelene as Founding Apostles of the ecclesia.
While the name is changing, the heart and foundation remain the same. Crown Ecclesia will carry forward the legacy, values, and spiritual DNA of Sandhills Ecclesia while embracing a new season of alignment, vision, and responsibility.
We invite our community to join us in prayer and celebration as we step into this next chapter together, trusting God’s timing and honoring the work He continues to establish among us.
With gratitude and expectation,
Crown Ecclesia Leadership
