LOCAL OUTREACH

Common Ground Community Garden The Common Ground garden project will provide a place for international refugees and local volunteers from around Boise to gather to learn not only gardening skills and grow produce, but also get connected with their community and learn basic employable skills. The produce grown will feed those in need and be available for purchase by members of the church and residents of SE Boise. For more information and ways you can get involved click here.

INTERNATIONAL OUTREACH

Mexico Every year Eastwind travels to a small cardboard village just south of Ensenada on the Pacific coast of Baja California. The residents there are indigenous descendants of the Maya, and they live in deep poverty. In past years, teams from the church have done projects designed to improve the quality of life for these people. These projects include building sanitary restroom facilities, providing running water to the community, improving housing, and most importantly, establishing and staffing a computer learning center for the education of the area's children.

CHILDREN'S MINISTRY At Eastwind the Children's MInistry is an important part of who we are. We have a variety of programs to meet each child's needs. On Sundays there is Children's church at 9am and at 10:30 there is Sunday School for ages K - 6th grade. There is also L.I.F.T (Launch Into Family Time) offered serveral times a year and Vacation Bible School during the summer. To learn more about these programs check out our Children's Ministry Page.

YOUTH MINISTRY Being a teenager is tough! Kids are facing new challenges each day, but this brings opportunities for growth. At Eastwind our youth program is designed to reach students 7th-12th grade where they are at and encourage and equip them for movement forward with God. It's about relationship. We do this through: a Sunday morning class that meets in the youth room during the 10:30 service 3 weeks a month, a Wednesday night meeting 7:00-8:30pm called I.A.G.T. (It's a God Thing), and several camps, retreats, service projects, and fun activities happening monthly throughout the year. Check out some more info on our Youth Ministry page.

ADULT BIBLE STUDIES Eastwind has a wide variety of bible studies at a variety of times and for a variety interests being offered this year. Small groups are a great way to get to know people and learn more about God's Word. Our groups are discussion-oriented and enjoyable, whether you know a lot about the Bible or virtually nothing. Please note there may be change in the schedule during the summer. Several studies take a break, or just meet monthly. Click here to check out the studies available.
