About Us
What We Believe:
By God’s mercy and providence, our church has been at this location since 1843. We seek to be a Christ-centered congregation by loving God and showing His grace to those around us. We believe that faith in Jesus Christ for redemption of our sins is the only way to have salvation from the punishment of sin and eternal life in heaven with God (John 3:16; John 14:6; Romans 6:23). We believe that the truths of the Bible can help any and all of us with any and all of the problems we may face (2 Timothy 3:15-17).
At ELBC you can expect services and Bible studies to have preaching and teaching that come from the Bible and address current everyday aspects of our lives (Psalm 119:105; Proverbs 3:5-6; 2 Peter 1:3-4 & 20-21). We want to be actively involved in our community and minister to families and individuals in our area
