Our Story

A Faithful Heritage. A Future Built Together.

EECA's story began in September 1982 when a small group gathered in an apartment to pray and worship. Over the decades, God provided places to gather, leaders to serve, families to build community, and opportunities to share the Gospel.

Our journey

    EECA acquires its first church property on Fellowship Road.

  4. 2011

    EECA acquires a larger Stone Mountain property, opening a new chapter of ministry.

  5. Today

    One church serving multiple generations through worship, discipleship, community, children and students, outreach and mission.

  6. The next chapter

    Operation Nehemiah is strengthening EECA for generations to come.
