WE EXIST TO BE A

LIFE-CHANGING CHURCH


We offer 2 unique services that take place SIMULTANEOUSLY at 10:30 A.M. One is Contemporary with a praise band and the other is Traditional with hymns. The Lead Pastor, Nicky, speaks IN PERSON at both services. Our saying is "if you like it - we probably have it!" 


Eastern Heights Baptist Church is a member of The Southern Baptist Convention and subscribes to the doctrinal statement of “The Baptist Faith and Message” as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention on June 14, 2000: https://bfm.sbc.net/bfm2000/
