The opportunities listed below are church-wide community events that we participate in on a yearly or twice-yearly basis. These opportunities are a chance to introduce our community to the Echo Lake Church Family.
This is a ministry that started many years ago and involves a lot of the area churches. It’s where we spend a Sunday serving in the community by putting our faith into action with projects around town. There is a spring and a fall opportunity.
This event is our biggest outreach event that we participate in. The festival takes place every October and draws in upwards of 20,000 people each year and we have been providing free family friendly activities for those that come. This event gives us the opportunity to interact with folks who may not have a home church they attend and allows us to personally invite them to come. There is a lot of prep that goes into planning our participation as well as day of event needs. It’s a great way for your kids to get involved as well.
Our annual Women’s Conference is an event that takes a lot of people to make happen. If you have a heart for women’s ministry, we’d love to have you as part of our team. There are all sorts of roles to fill on this team and we are sure we can find a place where you can contribute. Even men can join our team as we have some roles that we ask men to help fill (serving breakfast and lunch and setting up and taking down tables and chairs.
Every Christmas Eve we host a dinner for anyone who would like to spend it with their Echo Lake family. We serve dinner between our evening Candlelight Services. Servers are needed for set-up, decorating, serving and clean up. Each year we host our Pancakes, Palms and Peeps on Palm Sunday. It’s a great way to kick off the holiest week of the year as a church family. We serve pancakes in between the two morning services. Servers are needed for set-up, decorating, pancake flipping and clean up.
