Welcome!

Whether you are new to our website or a returning friend, we encourage you to connect with us at East Gate Christian Center.  We invite you to worship God with us on Sunday mornings and draw closer to God through our adult bible studies on Wednesday evenings.  If there is a need in your life, we want to pray with you!  If you need fellowship and understanding - you will find us compassionate and supportive. We love God and we love you!

 Our Vision

   "To reach the city of Freeport, this region, and the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ - through personal and corporate evangelism, discipleship and mission. To train and equip the people God gives us in unity, in the faith, and in Holy Spirit power. To recognize the uniqueness of one under with Christ as the head. Developing relationships locally, regionally, and internationally with like-minded ministries for the advancement of the Kingdom of God in the earth according to Mathew 28:18-20."
