About Us

We celebrate the diversity of God’s creation and affirm that each person has special worth as a unique creation in God’s image. All are welcome to worship here and to come into relationship with the church’s life and work. We thank God for the blessing, the challenge, and the joy that we experience in both our unity and our diversity.

WE Believe

We at East, believe in the triune God, the Resurrected Christ, and the Holy Spirit. We believe as Christians that we should continually seek after God – creating an authentic relationship with God, engendering love, strengthening our faith, dissolving our guilt, and giving our life purpose and direction. All are welcome to join us on this journey, and be a part of our faith family where they can find a strong sense of being valued and loved.
