Congregational Care

Eastside’s Congregational Care (CC) Ministry exists to support and encourage members of the Eastside family experiencing difficult or stressful life-events such as:

• the death of a loved one
• personal health crises
• the birth of a child
• and other situations where support from a loving church family is welcomed

We show support in a number of ways relying on the church body of Eastside to come together to provide assistance such as:

• meals
• household chores
• transportation in certain circumstances
• and thoughtful communications (e.g., calls, cards, emails)

We, as a church body, are to show the love of Christ as the Bible instructs in Philippians 2:4,

“Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.”

As needs also exist in the surrounding community that Eastside seeks to serve, the CC ministry includes a “neighborhood” contingency that is able to provide certain support to Eastside’s neighbors in times of crisis, as we did with the Travelodge fire in 2020.

If you consider Eastside your church home (even if you are not yet a member) and are in need of assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us at -- care @ ecburg.org

If you are able to assist with supporting the needs of Eastside congregants please also reach out to -- care @ ecburg.org
