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 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 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.
