Some of our programs run all year long; Check our December news letter.
            Our
Adult Bible Study on Tuesday nights, our Fun Night for kids 4-11 and our Teen Night both on Thursday nights.
Homework House, our after school homework assistance runs on the same schedule as Campus School (2 blocks away) which is on a year round schedule. They end at the end of June and begin again in mid August.
 
We always have need of volunteers for the kids to read to even if they don't feel comfortable with some of the homework.

OUR MISSION:

Reaching our community for Christ, developing moral & spiritual maturity and providing tools for successful
Christian living

Philosophy of Ministry:
Eastown Ministries Youth Center

 provides a "safe place" for teenagers and children in the community. We want the children to feel loved and accepted and we seek to encourage them to live productive lives in their homes and communities. We also desire to provide them with the teaching, morals and skills to accomplish these goals with the Bible. We seek to provide physical help, mental and emotional help as well as provide a spiritual foundation of morality and purpose. We also seek to provide an atmosphere to teach the young people and children how to respect others and get along other children as well as adults. We seek to do this by providing several programs and services to the community.
