Missions

Our missionary outreach programs strive to fulfill Jesus' Biblical call to "help the least of our brothers and sisters." We call on our congregation members to give their time, talent, and treasures in areas that address their personal concerns. Current programs include:

Habitat for Humanity: Eastminster, a member of the Cobb Presbyterian Coalition (comprised of churches in our presbytery), funds and provides hands-on labor to build Habitat homes for eligible recipients in Cobb County. This is an extremely worthwhile mission that assists people with limited means to own a home of their own.

Ministries United in Services and Training (MUST) -- Eastminster provides and serves food at the shelter on the 9th of each month. In the summer we provide over 4,000 sack lunches for children who are on the subsidized lunch program during the school year.

New Life Ministries -- Our partnership with New Life Ministries in Belize includes five developing churches in Belize and three in Honduras. It is an exciting new mission which includes a school and a radio station. There are medical and dental mobile units which reach remote areas of Belize.

PATH (Presbyterian’s Answer to Hunger) -- PATH funds feeding programs in the U.S. and abroad. Fifty percent fund projects in the U.S. and 50 percent fund projects in Nicaragua and Africa.

Presbyterian Homes of Georgia --This mission provides all levels of care for the elderly: independent living, assisted living, and nursing home. Eastminster provides assistance to those residents in the nursing home who have outlived their resources by covering the difference between Medicaid and per diem cost.

ROW (Rivers of the World) -- ROW is led by Ben Mathes, a Presbyterian minister from Dawsonville. Ben and his team provide food and medical care to people living along the rivers in Africa and South America.

Thornwell Home and School for Children -- Thornwell is located in Clinton, SC. Here children from troubled homes are nurtured in a family-type environment, learn Christian values, and receive a quality education. Our Sunday School offering is given to this mission and provides school supplies, clothing, birthday gifts, and Christmas gifts for two resident children.

Adult Mission Trips -- Eastminster, working through "In the Carpenter's Footsteps, Inc." sent a team to construct a new children's activity center in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. We also provided sewing machines, sewing classes, and children's activities and Bible school.
