Local Outreach
We’re For the Shore
Here you’ll discover how we show up in our community to spread the fame of Jesus.
You’ll see the many ways Eastpoint is for the Shore — from our For the Shore Spotlight where we support and pray for local organizations, to our all-hands-on-deck annual initiatives in the community, to the local partners we financially support each month.
Partnering with
the YMCA
Light Hours Opportunities
A Light Hour is any time you spend shining the light of Jesus in your community! As invested partners with the YMCA, we, as a church, are specifically tracking Light Hours served in partnership with them.
Our goal is to serve 2,000 Light Hours with the YMCA in 2026.
We know that God has planted Eastpoint Church right in the middle of our community and called us to reach as many people as possible by becoming an unavoidable presence through partnership with our local YMCAs.

Ongoing and Annual Initiatives
-
Ongoing - Talbot Interfaith Shelter Meaks
If you can double a recipe, then you have what it takes to serve your neighbor. Eastpoint Church has partnered with the Talbot Interfaith Shelter to provide a meal for families on the 16th of every month.
Our goal is to expand our service to the shelter as they expand their services to the community! -
Ongoing - Meal Train
Part of being in a church family is getting to care for one another. Whether it’s sickness, babies being born, or mourning a loss, sometimes the easiest way to say “We love you” is a meal.

Annual - Teacher Appreciation at Easton Middle
Being at the YMCA means recognizing that God has strategically placed us right across the street from Easton Middle School. We know that teaching is often a thankless calling. During Teacher Appreciation Month, our church comes together in a big way to bless the teachers and staff—simply to express our gratitude for the time, care, and commitment they invest in the children of our community.

Annual - Back to School Supply Drive
Our annual School Supply Drive with For All Seasons in June/July is a great opportunity to bless students in our community.

Whether it’s notebooks, crayons, or glue sticks, your gift helps kids walk into the new school year with confidence and dignity.
