The Ecclesia Project: Capturing the Soul of Churches Across the Globe

The Ecclesia Project is a photographic journey dedicated to documenting the beauty, history, and cultural impact of churches. Rooted in the ancient Greek word ecclesia, meaning “assembly” or “gathering,” this project highlights the profound role churches play in shaping communities, faith, and heritage.

Starting in Orange County, California, I will explore and photograph all types of churches—from humble chapels to grand cathedrals—capturing their architectural splendor, historical significance, and the stories of the people who bring them to life. Each image seeks to illuminate how these sacred spaces contribute to local culture and serve as timeless symbols of faith and unity.

With aspirations to extend this work globally, the Ecclesia Project aims to shed light on the universal yet unique role churches play in our world. The photographs will be presented through curated exhibitions and prints to honor their enduring legacy and impact.

Follow the Ecclesia Project as it grows, uniting history, art, and culture through the lens of sacred spaces.
