EASTWOOD CHURCH
Our membership is about 150, small enough to be flexible and large enough to accomplish quite a bit. Our age ranges from the 80's to babies. Our worship is a mix of its very own, and not formal. We use old hymns, contemporary choruses, drama, a sermon, children's story, puppets, some art and interaction to keep our worship alive. Our pastor strives to fulfill these three goals: That you will encounter Christ somehow, that you will learn something, and that you will laugh.
Our administration consists of a board, and many task teams. The final decision is always in the congregational business meeting, in which every member has a voice and a vote. We try to make it both easy and fulfilling to volunteer in our activities.
Our personality? We place a high value on a genuine faith that is not just agreement with a belief, but a life change. Our goal is to be authentic in everything, to not hide disagreements, for example, to be open about our imperfections. We give everyone the freedom to fail and try again. We strive to be a caring family, and especially enjoy the strengths that a wide variety of age groups give to us. Fun is a big value, we all hate to be bored, and we think that the Spirit of God brings joy.
