Mission and Values

Our Mission

ESBC is on mission to share Christ with every family in the community of Lake Forest and the greater Eastern Shore.

Our Values

WE PUT GOD FIRST

We're passionate about God, and we want everyone to know!

WE DO OUR BEST

No earthly church is perfect because only Jesus is perfect.
But we pursue excellence because God deserves our best. Our desire is to walk worthy of our calling in Christ - both individually and as a collective church. 

WE ARE CONTRIBUTORS, NOT CONSUMERS,
WITH AN ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE

We live in service to our King and our community. Our motivation is not for building our own kingdoms here on earth, but rather the eternal kingdom of Christ. 

WE OVER ME

At Eastern Shore Baptist Church, there is a place for you! We are not designed to walk in isolation, but rather in community, No matter your age or stage of life, you will find opportunities to build deep relationships where you are known and loved. 

WE EMBRACE AND ENJOY THE JOURNEY

In a fallen world, the journey is not always easy. But we know that Jesus has overcome the world! So we choose to live with contagious joy that only the power of the Holy Spirit can bring. 

WE GIVE GENEROUSLY, CHEERFULLY, AND SACRIFICIALLY

Our giving is not only an expression of obedience to God, but it reflects our love for others. Generosity fuels the mission of our church to spread the Gospel here in our neighborhoods and the Eastern Shore community.
