Welcome to Eastminster!
Eastminster's mission is to encourage people to enjoy the fullness of knowing, loving and becoming like Jesus.

Worship
Worship is where we orient our lives towards God and
we are filled again with his presence. We are one church body with three distinct worship venues, bound by common faith and vision.

Grow
We believe we are best discipled (becoming more like Jesus) when we interact with God’s Word in authentic community. We do this through Grow Groups. Find yours at www.eastminster.org/grow-groups.

Serve
We are most fulfilled in the church when we are using our gifts to serve others. Want to learn more about opportunities to serve? Visit www.eastminster.org/serve.

GO
We all GO and share the gospel, from the end of the street to the ends of the earth. Being missional is who we are.

Wednesdays, 6:30 - 8 p.m.; North Building. Youth Group is an exciting weekly hangout for middle schoolers to explore their faith, make friends and have a blast! With awesome worship, lively discussions, fun games and inspiring lessons, it's the perfect mix of faith and fun.

Sundays, 7 – 8:30 p.m.; North Building. Sunday Night Youth Group is packed full of worship, relevant messages, and good times. You’ll grow deeper in your walk with Christ, strengthen relationships and make new ones!
