At East Cobb United Methodist Church, we strive to engage in Christian ministry which accomplishes what we believe to be God's mission for us as a church: 

We believe each phrase of this mission is biblically based, and gives us a framework out of which all of our ministries and activities proceed:
 
Sharing the LOVE of Jesus (1 John 4:11-20) --
            We believe this means we are called by God to welcome and accept others
            in the same unconditional, selfless way that Jesus welcomes and accepts us.
 
Sharing the LIGHT of Jesus (Matthew 5:14-16) --
            We believe this means we are called by God to first allow His presence in our
            lives to transform us into more Christlike people by the power of His Holy Spirit,
            and then to allow our transforming and transformed lives to point others towards
            God so that they can experience His transforming presence for themselves.
 
Our Changing World (Isaiah 43:16-21) –-
            We believe this means we are called by God to discover creative ways to share
            the unchanging “good news” of Christ’s hope with the chaos of our constantly
            changing culture and community.
 
We understand each of these three dimensions of our mission to be integrally woven into each and every ministry of our church, including our worship, Christian education and spiritual growth, music, evangelism, mission/outreach, and ministries to children, youth, and adults.

Our LOGO is a lighthouse, reminding us that we as a church and as individual Christians are to be a “light” that points others away from the “rocky shores” of life (such as fear, hopelessness, and despair), and towards the “safety” of a life of peace, hope and joy with God through an intimate relationship with His son Jesus Christ.
