We believe that water baptism is a public declaration of three important things: you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you are beginning a changed life in Christ, and you are part of a new family. Find out more about baptism here.

If you would like to be baptized, please sign up by July 31! There are multiple times to be baptized throughout the weekend. Find the one that best fits you by visiting the links on the baptism page of our website (linked above).

Schedule baptism for 3:00 or 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 13, or 10:00 a.m or after the service on Sunday, August 14.

We believe that God can reveal Himself to us through the arts, and you don’t have to be a classically trained artist to be supernaturally inspired to create. We encourage you to explore how God can speak to you through artwork.

Bring your artwork to church on August 27 & 28 and display it in the Gathering Room to encourage others and share the knowledge of the glory of the Lord with our congregation. Artwork can be left any time throughout the weekend and picked up any time by September 4. Please include your name and email/phone number on the piece so we can contact you about it if necessary.

You can also share your artwork any time on Facebook or Instagram using #EccKingdomArt. Tag us in your post!

Help Ephrata Area Social Service bless those in need in our community by bringing at least one nonperishable food item to church on the first weekend of each month. Drop those items in one of the carts located near each welcome center and help EASS fill their shelves each month. Thank you for your contributions!

Join us for an evening of worship, prayer, and ministry at Gateway House of Prayer from 7:00–9:00 p.m.

Join us as Dave & Sherri Hess discuss the topic of women in leadership in the church. Is there biblical basis for it? How can men and women lead side by side?

Women’s ministry meets at ECC at 7:00 p.m. on the third Thursday of every month.
*Please note that this event is on the second Thursday of the month.

It is our desire that women embrace their role within the church and community while growing in their life with Jesus. In order to help them walk out their God-given destiny, we provide opportunities for women to connect with and support each other, study the scriptures together, and receive resourcing and encouragement in the context of an intergenerational community. Various events for women occur throughout the year all with the goal of creating an atmosphere conducive to promoting healing and wholeness for women in the body of Christ.

Children and students entering grades K–12 in the 2022/2023 school year will step up to their new classroom or group the weekend of September 10 & 11.  This means they will remain in their current classroom [in the grade they just completed] until September 3 & 4. Their grade change will be reflected on their check-in name label starting the weekend of September 10 & 11 for children, infant to grade 6.

Calling men of all ages! Join us for breakfast on Saturday, September 17. Connect with others in prayer and feasting. Register by September 3!
