Outreach & Missions
LOCAL OUTREACH
At EHCC we believe that we have been placed in this world to live out the purpose and mission of Christ in bringing redemption and restoration to our world. We seek to impact our community as we serve and actively live out the Gospel of Christ. As a body East Hills offers various events that serve our community. These often happen around the various holidays and give the church an opportunity to serve those around us.
​
We also utilize our LIFE Groups to know our community and identify how we can effectively minister to them. In our LIFE Groups we host a collection of community outreach projects. Many of these projects have us serving Edgemont Elementary School with our Thanksgiving turkey and food drive and Edgemont Elementary School Christmas toy drive outreach event.

TALKING BIBLES
INTERNATIONAL - WORLD WIDE
Talking Bibles International is a ministry based in Escondido, CA that shares the Gospel around the world – primarily Africa and India – reaching non-readers with God’s spoken Word in a “Talking Bible”. These audio Bibles are placed into homes of new Christians who can’t read and have no other access to God’s Word. They are also placed in homes where non-readers have never heard God’s Word. The Talking Bible also allows listeners to share their new faith with others. In many parts of India, it is very hard for the pastors to share the gospel with people who have not heard it before. This opens the door to the home so the pastor can minister to their spiritual needs.
