GIVE | ACT | SERVE | INSPIRE - These are not just words to us or a service we provide ~ This is Who We Are ~

Through our GIVE | ACT | SERVE | INSPIRE outreach, EWC is committed to giving hope to the lost and hurting both at home and abroad by forming strategic partnerships with local & global organizations that are assisting the poor, caring for the sick, planting churches and educating future generations.

We have a strong dedication to reach out into our community and demonstrate the love of Jesus. The only way the world will experience the love of God is when we GIVE. We must ACT by becoming God's hands extended to this hurting world. As Jesus came to serve others, we SERVE our community by reaching into the lives of those who have been overlooked or forgotten by society. When we GIVE | ACT | SERVE, we INSPIRE others to look past their own need and help others.

Several years ago we made a decision not to duplicate local outreach programs that are doing an excellent job providing hope to our community. Instead, we have chosen to provide financial and volunteer support by partnering with a handful of local ministries that are serving our community.

Our vision is to see people develop a servant’s heart, a passion for God and a love for others through serving at home and supporting others around the world. We want to see lives fully surrendered to Him as we serve one another in love so that all nations may know that He alone is God.

MUST Ministries - Food Pantry

Each day, hunger is experienced in every community across this country. Ending hunger in America depends on the volunteer work of literally millions of Americans who know that they can make a difference. We at the East West Church are doing our part to help end hunger in our local community. MUST Ministries provides canned and other non-perishable goods free of charge to Cobb and Cherokee County residents in need. Families and individuals may obtain food through one of their three food pantries Monday thru Friday from 10am-2pm

Haiti for Christ

Pastors Joel and Yvonne Trimble were called to reach the unchurched of Haiti by providing caring structures for families and knowledge of spiritual gifts. As indigenous missionaries, they understand the region and provide basic humanitarian aid to the poorest areas of rural Haiti. Other activities include initiatives in the field of education, health, improved housing, and other basic material needs. We support them as they seek to help the villagers establish independent economic development by providing them with agricultural business opportunities that utilize their own resources.

Senior Outreach Programs

Developing stronger connections between older adults and their community can have tremendous benefits for both young and old. Our ongoing visitation program affords understanding and trust to develop, which are essential for a real connection between people of any age. We are often the only persons to visit many of our seniors throughout the year. With an estimated 30% area nursing home residents having no family in the area or people to visit them, we want to make sure that those residents' are not forgotten at Christmas. Every Christmas we adopt over 150 seniors at a local nursing center to provide them with basic supplies.

Bethesda Children's Home Thailand

Many children are born to Lao women imprisoned in Thailand for life. Their fathers are most likely prison guards. The children are permitted to live in the prison with their mother until they are three years old. They are then separated from their mothers and usually go to a government-run facility, from where they generally enter a life of sexual slavery, prostitution and drugs. Missionaries Jeff and Michele Dove have built an excellent rapport with the prison warden and minister to the prisoners. Because of their relationships and the excellent reputation of Bethesda Children's Home at Chiang Rai, many of the mothers now choose to place their children with the Doves.
