Eastminster Presbyterian Church will mark its 50th anniversary in October with a special catered dinner for current and former members and clergy, a special worship service and other festivities.
The dinner takes place on Saturday, Oct. 8. The special service is scheduled for the next day, with a family barbecue and other festivities to follow.
The church located at 3125 Sewell Mill Road has around 600 members. Eastminster belongs to the Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians, a Reformed denomination of around 400 churches nationwide that separated from the Presbyterian Church in 2012.
Eastminster Presbyterian (website here) holds two traditional worship services every Sunday along with Sunday School classes. The senior pastor is Rev. Aaron Moore and the associate pastor is Rev. Hubie Mann.
The church hosts a Boy Scout troop, a preschool, a weekly gathering of home schoolers, a teaching center for local musicians and a practice site for bagpipe enthusiasts.
Eastminster began in 1972 with a core group of eight people with a goal of meeting the worship and pastoral needs of an area of East Cobb undergoing rapid suburbanization.
The church first met at a specially-built small house at Johnson Ferry Road and Woodlawn Drive, then broke ground on its present facility at Sewell Mill and Old Canton roads in 1991.
Eastminster’s work in the community includes volunteering for food service with the Table on Delk and MUST Ministries and providing supplies to Blessings
in a Backpack.
Beyond East Cobb, Eastminster aids needy families in Welch, W. Va. and supports ministries to orphanages in Kenya, school children in Guatemala and a church plant in Costa Rica.
