ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
East End Fellowship is a multi-ethnic, economically diverse Christian church located in the east end of Richmond. We meet for a worship service each Sunday at 4pm at the Robinson Theatre, as well as have weekly House Church that meet on various weeknights throughout the week in the neighborhoods of the east end.
We want to see more of God's Kingdom come here in the east end, as it is in heaven. We believe that discipleship (the process of someone becoming like Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit) is the key to everything we are about as a church, and so much of our time, energy and resources is poured into discipleship.
There is no Plan B for Jesus.
We want every person to know God, to be part of God’s spiritual family as a disciple of Jesus, and to join in God’s mission through the Holy Spirit in our city. Another way of saying this is we want to make disciples of Jesus who then go and do the same in the east end of Richmond and beyond.
If you're someone hoping to find out more about Jesus and how he’s putting everything in the world back together, or if you're looking for a church family that puts discipleship and god’s kingdom at the center of everything, we'd love to have you join us.
OUR VISION & Strategic Plan
Our Vision at East End Fellowship is for every person to have the opportunity to become a disciple of Jesus and live in the joy and justice of God’s Kingdom.
Our Mission at East End Fellowship is to provide multiple opportunities for every person in the East End to be a part of Jesus’ spiritual family.
With our Vision and our Mission in mind, we have created a 5 Year Strategic Plan that focuses on these four priorities:
Increase Holy Spirit ministry and prayer
Broaden discipleship system
Deepen neighborhood engagement
Strengthen youth ministry
