As we navigate the coronavirus outbreak together, Eastminster leaders want to resource, equip and encourage you as you pursue Jesus and serve others during this time. Consider this page the hub for all things digital ministry in the coming weeks. Our staff will be producing things like video encouragement, podcasts, Bible study resources, kids activities and more to help you make the most of this time. We also encourage you to connect with us on Facebook and Instagram.

The recent crisis has brought up some theological questions. Like: Did God cause the coronavirus? Is this God’s judgment against humanity? Or is God passive in this, allowing the natural course of things to play themselves out? Eastminster member and theologian Ben Davis offers some thoughts on this subject. Download his piece here >>
