The STORY SO FAR....................
2001 - God called Nadine Lee to start a new vocal group that would touch christians and non christians alike.
2002 - The vocal sound developed, news spread & Ekklesia which means ' The Called Out', started writing their own material.
2003 - Ekklesia releases a four track EP featuring the most significant faces of UK Urban Gospel. With a track written by MOBO & UMA, Uk Gospel Pioneer Isaiah-Raymond Dyer of Raymond and Co, the unique sounds of leading Hiphop artist 'Practical Wisdom' of Green Jade and the much sort after guitar flavour that only Michael 'The Prophet' Brown could add, Good News became one of the strongest musical offerings of 2003. The release generates a UK Gospel media hype, which in turn encourages a much requested promo tour of the EP.
August 2003 - Ekklesia enter the GMTV/Integrity/Voice Gospel Challenge, winning the London heat and awesome comments from judges Kanya King & Mica Paris.
2004 - Marriages, babies & one member (Shaneeka) leaving - Yes a break impended.
December 2004 - Hotly anticipated release of Single 'Cant be Hurt'. A Favourite with DJ's & listeners, with some hot mixes by Kenz & 'Wez er Nate'.
2006- Ekklesia released another foot stomping hit 'Get to know you'.
2008 - The release of the long awaited album 'RAIN' available in all Christian bookshops UK, Europe and in some parts USA.
Ekklesia have stepped up a gear- They mean business - spiritually, vocally & Expertly. They are urban. They are real and the New Season is about to begin.

Hi there, How are you? It’s been a while leaving a message on your space so I thought I’d just drop in to say hello and wished you a great weekend.
In Addition I pray that the lord will continue to bless and open doors that no one can shut so that we can all be a sign and wonder to this generation; again have a great weekend and don’t end up on You tube unknowingly
