What Mouvement Chrétien des Cadres et dirigeants (MCC) does

Mouvement Chrétien des Cadres et dirigeants (MCC), operating under the trade name Eccleria, is a French non-profit Christian movement founded in 1965 and based in Paris. It serves Christian executives, managers, and professionals across France, organizing them into local teams ("équipes") that meet monthly for collective discernment, shared experience, and spiritual accompaniment rooted in the Ignatian pedagogical tradition and the social teaching of the Church. The organization's purpose is to help members reconcile Christian values with professional responsibilities and to inform decisions in light of the common good.

Eccleria's product surface is a community ecosystem rather than a technology platform. Core offerings include the monthly team-based discernment meetings, the Revue Responsables publication (digital plus an annual paper edition), a private member portal (Espace Membres), spiritual accompaniment resources ("Coin SPI"), educational content on the Church's social doctrine, and a structured "Parcours & Formations" pathway introduced for 2025-2026. There is no proprietary technology stack, no mobile app, and no public APIs; digital delivery relies on the eccleria.fr website (built with website partner ACCK) and the membres.eccleria.fr member portal.

The revenue model combines three streams: recurring membership dues ("adhésion"), voluntary donations, and one-time revenue from publication sales. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is gated behind the member portal. Distribution is domestic-only, executed through a direct community-led model where prospective members are routed via the website to local teams, supplemented by earned media coverage and an organic social media presence. The movement operates with a disclosed headcount of 7 employees.

Core offering

Eccleria (MCC) operates a faith-based membership community for executives and managers, centered on monthly local-team meetings in which members share professional experiences and engage in collective discernment inspired by St. Ignatius pedagogy, facilitated by trained spiritual accompaniers. The movement supplements meetings with the Revue Responsables quarterly publication and an online members' portal offering formation pathways and resources rooted in the Church's social teaching.

Product overview

Eccleria is a single unified offering — a Christian movement for executives and managers that combines monthly group meetings (the heart of the community), the Revue Responsables (a digital/print publication), and a private member portal (Espace Membres). Spiritual resources and Church social teaching content are integrated components within the member ecosystem rather than separate products.
