What is your testimony?
The Stewardship Committee recently asked for help and input and thoughts on how and what the congregation of Eastminster is doing in terms of spreading the Gospel and living up to the commands of our Lord.
Here are some of the ways Eastminster has been sharing the good news of Jesus Christ and how our congregation is living out its call:
 

The Saturday morning breakfast. The food pantry. Inviting friends/family to worship/class.

I am living in His call by His love, peace and kindness.

EPC is a Mission church. Our congregation shows this every week through the ministry of the Saturday Neighborhood breakfast. Besides our guests, 2 neighboring churches help monthly, some twice per month. Truly, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ.

Every week, members of our church come up to Eastminster on Saturday morning to faithfully serve any and all for a delicious breakfast. These members rarely miss a Saturday and we are never closed. Other members faithfully volunteer at the Pleasant Grove Food Pantry 2-3 times per week. They too rarely miss a day. Giving all that time we are serving others in our community and share the Good News by our acts of faith.

Pleasant Grove Food Pantry

The obvious ways our congregation is living out its call are many; the Saturday breakfast, Sunday breakfast is open to all, the food pantry on site and at Pleasant Grove. But the less obvious ways are equally important, the Wednesday noon open prayer time and morning Bible study, the prayer time in the chapel on Saturdays, and the
prayer during Blair’s Bible study class all reflect that our church is a praying church devoted to studying God’s Word which is of the utmost importance to our calling as disciples.


Thank you to all who responded.  If you would like to contribute your comments or volunteer to appear in a short video telling of what you believe Eastminster is doing in our community, please contact the office at [email protected].

Stewardship Campaign 2026

​
​Be still and know that I am God.
Psalm 46:10


​To be faithful to God's call, I will strive toward the spiritual discipline of using my gifts in the work of the church.



                            Be still and know that I am God.
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Ps 46:10

Stewardship is a way of living every single day. Part of being wise stewards is visioning, planning, preparing and giving attention to how we can offer our resources, in thanksgiving, for God’s purpose and plan. Thus, we have a season, some dates, monetary pledges, gifts and skills commitment forms, and we call this a Stewardship Campaign. This year, we turn our hearts to Psalm 46:10 to remind us to be still and know that He is God, to trust and praise Him. Whatever we give (money, time, care, mercy, energy, skills) we give out of gratitude, not compulsion or coercion. In these past few years, we have stepped out of our proverbial boats and taken a leap of faith, so this year we will be still and reflect on who He is. We trust that our Triune God will be further glorified through the limitless faith God has provided each of us and we will make commitments as our response to that gift of faith.

On November 2nd, we share time together at the Stewardship Luncheon for fellowship and celebration of Christ’s ministries at Eastminster.  We will present the 2026 budget, and give attention to the direction of the Spirit for Christ’s future holy work of our congregation.  At the Stewardship Luncheon we offer the gifts of our hearts, lives and resources as we dedicate them all to the glory of God by completing the Time & Talent form. Members who do not attend the luncheon can pick up their form at church the following Sundays. Time, Talent and Pledge sheets will also be emailed and can be filled out and submitted online using the form below. The 2026 Budget is online as well. God has blessed Eastminster financially in that the 2025 budget called for a $31,000 shortfall, Praise God that instead, so far in 2025 the church does not have a shortfall but is in the black! Please prayerfully consider what God is calling you to pledge for 2026 in terms of finances, talent and service. 

May the Holy Spirit bring us the joy of giving, the gift of laughter and faithful hearts as we act in obedience to God’s will for 2026.
