OUR VALUES
OUR PURPOSE
What We Are About
At East Lake Church, everything we do flows from a simple, intentional pathway of following Jesus. We believe faith is not meant to be static—it’s a journey of belonging, believing, and becoming. Whether you are new to church or have been walking with Christ for years, our desire is to help you take your next step.
CORE PRINCIPLES
Our Four Values
Connect, Grow, Serve, and Go — shape how we live out our faith together. They are not just ideas, but a way of life that leads us into deeper relationships with God, stronger community with others, and a meaningful impact in the world.
CONNECT
Connect to God, the church and people through meaningful relationships. "Let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25 (MSG)
GROW
Discover the strengths of God's purposeful design for your life. “Every day they spent time in the temple and in one home after another. They never stopped teaching and telling the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.” Acts 5:42 (CEV)
SERVE
Use your God-given gifts to make a difference in the lives of others. “So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.” John 13:14-15 (NRSV)
GO
Share your faith and make disciples with those around you. “Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:19 (MSG)
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
