“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” - 2 Corinthians 9:7

East Gate Friends and Family,

2025 was the year of OVERFLOW! A year in which we experienced the overflow of Heaven’s Revelation, Abundant Life, and Victory all found in Jesus! As a result, Holy Spirit did exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ask or imagine! We witnessed lives transformed, leaders raised up, and our community grow in their ability to hear God’s voice, connect with Him daily, and walk with Him in obedience.

Your faithful commitment to pray for, and serve within, this house resulted in our ability to steward FIVE weekend conferences! Marriages were blessed, families were strengthened, prodigals returned home, and the lost were found! Through your generosity and faithful giving, we were able to make significant improvements to our property, livestream, and audio-visual equipment. East Gate Kids now has a set apart time and space to encounter the Lord together each Sunday morning and Wednesday Evening. 

Since our Make Disciples Conference in April we have seen people give their lives to Jesus every week. We launched the Belong Ministry (Prayer, Outreach, & Discipleship) in May and during just one hour a week the gospel has been shared 128 times in the last seven months, and 70 people have surrendered their lives to Jesus!  Our Food Drive faithfully served our local community, sharing food, prayer, and God’s presence. The Connect Ministry (Membership & Discipleship) saw 202 profiles created in 2025. 95 people discovered how they best connect with God as they were personally connected into our local body. Now 65 of these people are actively serving within the local church. 

This year, 2026 is the Year of Holiness, a year to be Wholly His. We are praying 1 Thessalonians 5:23–24, trusting that the God of peace Himself will sanctify us completely and establish us as a people wholly devoted to Him. We believe Holy Spirit is prophetically inviting us into a Building Year of Greater Intimacy, and a Radical Year marked by Suddenlies.

In this Year of Holiness, we believe faithful stewardship is an act of holy worship, setting apart what we have for the work He is doing among us.


Heart for East Gate is the time each year we set apart to seek the Lord for His heart for this house and respond in faith-filled generosity. This offering is our opportunity to partner with what God is building and to prepare space for continued growth, discipleship, outreach, and encounter.

In this Building Year, Heart for East Gate will be set apart in faith for a new and larger facility. As your pastors, we invite you and your family to prayerfully ask the Lord what He is calling you to give. Take time to meet with Him, hear His voice, and give in obedience.

We encourage you to bring your offerings in person on Sunday, March 1st, at 9 or 11am, so that the elders may pray over you and your gift. If you are unable to attend in person, you can still participate in the following ways:

  1. Online at weareeastgate.com/give

  2. Through the Church Center App

  3. Text the dollar amount and “Heart for East Gate” to (877) 688-1995
