Ways for Families to Serve Others Together

Our desire is that students grow in their desire to serve others. A number of service projects are planned each year for each grade level; however, many families desire to serve others as a family. The following ministries are those in which East Cobb Presbyterian Church members participate. If you have questions about any of these ministries, please contact Molly Blass in the school office.

Many opportunities for inner-city service are available in the Summerhill Community, located near downtown and Turner Field. ECPC’s involvement each summer includes preparing and serving hot meals and assisting with arts and crafts, music and drama classes. The after-school program desperately needs volunteers to tutor young people.
