Explore. Encounter. Experience… Jesus.
Our church is full of people in ministry—people serving as well as people being served by others. It’s this service that makes a church a community. Our goal is to have every adult involved in ministry that utilizes their spiritual gifts and takes advantage of their availability and interest. This is why we offer a wide array of ministries to get involved in—either by serving, being served, or often, both.
Our Adult Ministries offer great opportunities to connect, learn and grow in your relationship with God and with others and to find a meaningful place of service. Just click on the links below to get more information and start connecting.
Adult Education is people coming together to learn, share, grow, be challenged, be consoled, be nurtured, be engaged on who they are in Christ, as part of ECRC and the broader Reformed Community. It is a place where new visitors and long-time participants can see what is happening in and around our church family.
