Friday, October 2-Sunday, October 11
MissionsFest is an annual, week-long focus on how God is at work in our church, city, and around the world.
This year’s Missions Fest centers on the theme Whole, inspired by the Lausanne Movement’s vision of “the whole church bringing the whole gospel to the whole world.” Featuring guest speaker Brian Fikkert, we’ll explore how the Whole Gospel transforms every dimension of life. Fikkert defines the Whole Gospel as “helping each person be whole and right with God, themselves, each other, and creation.” Join us as we discover God’s heart for holistic restoration and our role in His mission to the world.
Throughout the week will explore where Eastbrook is going in missions for the coming year — and how you can join us!
All are welcome to attend the events listed below, taking place throughout the week. Some are regularly scheduled events and groups that will take on special, missions-focused messages during this week.
