ECC currently sponsors 114 children in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) through Covenant Kids Congo powered by World Vision. We'd love to add many more children to that list later this month. On Sunday, August 28, we will host CHOSEN, a World Vision event inviting us to prayerfully consider sponsoring a child in the Congo for $40 a month. Plus, in the past, we have been given pictures of children whom we chose. This time, however, the children of the Congo will choose us! We invite you to partner with World Vision to support comprehensive and sustainable development that is already leading to holistic transformation for children and their families in the Congo.

We will be presenting our 3rd grade students with a Bible during our worship service on Sunday, August 14. If your family attends worship in person, please plan to be with us on this Sunday. If you are worshiping at home, we will bring a Bible to you prior to August 14 and record a video to share in worship that day. If you have a 3rd grade student, please be sure to let us know through this form so that we have a Bible ready for your child.
