Every year we remind ourselves of why we do church at EBC the way we do! Sometimes this means we look at our values (Care, Commitment, Community, Celebration and Communication) but this time we are talking about our Purpose, our Vision, our Mission and our Method. Join us this June as we get explain and explore why we think we’re put on this earth (our purpose), what God’s mission for us to be involved in is (our mission), what we want to see EBC becoming (our vision) and how we’re trying to go about it all (our method). Strap in for the ride!
