Worship with us at East Gate Christian Center

We have an infant nursery for your child up to 18 months and a toddler nursery for 18 months to 3 years old. The older children worship with their parents and ages 4-8 are dismissed during the offering for children's church.

This is why We Do What We Do.


Why We Praise Out Loud

(Psalm 100:1) Make a joyful noise.

(Psalm 47:1) Shout unto God.

(Psalm 89:1) With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness.


Why We Preach the Word

(2 Timothy 4:2) Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long-suffering and teaching.


Why We Lift Our Hands

(Psalm 63:4, 134:2, 141:2) Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and bless the Lord.


Why We Clap Our Hands

(Psalm 47:1) Clap your hands, all you people!

(Psalm 98:8) let the rivers clap their hands.

(Isaiah 55:12) All the trees of the field clap their hands.


Why We Use Instruments of Music

(Psalm 150:3-6) Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet. Praise Him with the lute and harp! Praise Him with the timbrel (tambourine) and dance, Praise Him with the stringed instruments and flutes. Praise Him with loud cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!


Why We Lay On Hands

(Mark 16:18) They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.


Why We Use Prophesy

(1 Corinthians 14:1,4) Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. But he who prophesies edifies the church.


Why We Sing Praises to The Lord

(Psalm 89:1) I will sing the mercies of the Lord forever.

(Psalm 13:6, 27:6) I will sing praises to the Lord.

(Psalm 33:3, 98:1, 149:1) Sing to Him a new song.


Why the Lord Gives Gifts of the Spirit

(Romans 12:6 Ephesians 4:4) Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.

(1 Corinthians 12:4-11) Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
