Here at ECC we are about the redeeming grace and transforming truth of Jesus Christ. It really is at the center of everything we do here. Listen as Pastor Bob Whitaker explains why you should come worship with us.
Sunday Worship (School Year): Traditional (9:30am), Contemporary (11:00am).
Summer Worship: 10:00am.

Today I was reading in Exodus 29 about the ordination of Aaron and his sons for the priesthood.
