Local Missions
We believe that serving our community is a critical part of our mission as a church. One of the ways we carry out this mission is through our local missions program, which focuses on servant evangelism. Through servant evangelism, we are able to build relationships with our neighbors and meet their practical needs as a way to share the love of Christ. By doing projects around our community, our goal is to share the message of hope and salvation in a tangible way. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve and share the gospel with those around us, and we will continue to seek out ways to make a difference in the lives of those in our community.

National Missions
Our heart for national missions beats passionately, fueled by a deep desire to spread the love of Christ across our great nation. We firmly believe that the Gospel should not be confined within the walls of our church, but rather, should be carried far and wide to every corner of this land. With unwavering faith, we support and actively participate in various national mission endeavors, reaching out to those in need and sharing the life-transforming message of Jesus Christ. From disaster relief efforts to homeless shelters, from inner-city ministries to rural communities, we strive to make a significant impact on the lives of those who have yet to experience the redeeming power of God's grace. By partnering with local churches and ministries, we seek to engage with communities, breaking down barriers and building bridges that lead to reconciliation, hope, and restoration. Our heart for national missions propels us forward, united in our commitment to be the hands and feet of Jesus wherever we are called to serve.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
The Operation Christmas Child (OCC) shoebox ministry sends shoeboxes filled with items for children in a third-world country, including a Bible-based story book explaining the Gospel. East Pickens collects items all year long, assembles, and packs the boxes for shipment in late October. Volunteers will sort inventory, donate items throughout the year, and help with the cost of shipping. Individuals from the young to the senior adult (including our homebound) receive a blessing by giving items, making items, and supporting this ministry so that the Word of God can be spread. For more information please email nick@eastpickens.org.
