Areas & Leaders
Here at East Point, we use a ministry system to help us organize our ministry efforts. This system is overseen by our shepherds and is organized by our ministry leaders. Most of these ministry leaders have been chosen by the church to serve as deacons. We are grateful for the servant leadership displayed by all who serve. All ministry leaders are responsible for including other church members in their ministry areas. But in order to be included, members need to volunteer for the ministries which God has equipped them to perform. Members may volunteer for service by calling the appropriate ministry leaders listed in this booklet or by filling out a East Point Member’s Ministry Form. Listed below are the areas of ministry and leaders. Click here if you would like a PDF copy of the East Point Ministries: Areas of Service.
