Eastern Hills Community Church began in the early 1980's with a group of people who had vision to create a ministry in the Aurora area. After worshiping in a variety of temporary settings, the church moved into the first phase of the building at 19697 E. Smoky Hill Road in October of 1989. In May of 1999 we opened the remainder of our previous facility. In July of 2008 we moved into our current facility at 25511 E. Smoky Hill Road. This new facility is 70,000 square feet.

Our Senior Pastor, Shawn Sikkema arrived in the summer of 1989. Over these past 18 years, we have grown from about 100 people in worship on a weekend to our current size of 1,700 people on a weekend. Our current weekend attendance is approximately 2400 people.

We are aligned with the Christian Reformed Church of North America. You can learn more about the CRCNA here.
