VISION
We pray in the Holy Spirit that East Sunshine Church of Christ creates a culture based on and demonstrated by Christ’s love. We promote a process of discipleship based on the life of Jesus: be with Him, become like Him, and do what He did. We believe this starts with developing relational community within our church as we become disciples who make disciples. We believe baptism is an important part of the discipleship process as the journey with Jesus begins. Our small groups and outreach ministries are vital to being spiritually formed in the image of Christ for the sake of others. We live this out by following the mission of Jesus through domestic and international missions.
Our prayer is to make Jesus the center of all we do at East Sunshine Church of Christ. May His Kingdom come and His will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
