Online and Other Giving Opportunities

Eastern Hills exists to help people take their next step in their journey with Jesus. The financial support of those who are a part of EHCC allows us to connect with people in a way that encourages that next step. We are grateful to our congregation and friends whose donations fully and entirely support the church and all its ministries. Eastern Hills Community Church is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.
