East Main Baptist Church
About Us

Glorify His Name

East Main’s vision is simple: to see El Dorado, Arkansas, and the World transformed by the Gospel. It has changed our lives and we believe it can change everyone’s life. Come join us as we seek to make this vision a reality.


At East Main Baptist Church, our mission is simple: to bring God glory by making and maturing disciples of Jesus Christ. We believe that disciples are made and matured best in the context of relationships so we regularly gather together to learn from the Word, worship, fellowship, serve, and evangelize.

Our Values

We desire to see disciples who know the Word and are committed to living it out every day. Our core values flow naturally from our vision and mission. They are not unique to us, but we aren’t trying to be unique; our goal is to be faithful.


Gospel-Saturated

Everything we do, teaching, worship, fellowship, service, and evangelism, is all about displaying the Gospel clearly to those around us.


Praying

We believe in the power of prayer and that without prayer, nothing is possible for our church. If the vision is to become reality, if we are going to fulfill the mission, and if we are going to experience God’s power in our lives, we must pray and pray constantly.


Bible-Revering

We believe entirely in God’s Word. It alone sets that standard for our faith and practice.


Spirit-Led

The Holy Spirit continues to speak to His Church and guide believers. We don’t want to follow ourselves but to go where the Spirit leads us.


Missional

We are not called to a life of ease as Christians but a life lived on mission for God. We are committed to sharing the Gospel in every aspect of our lives as we strive to glorify God.


Maturing

Christians are called to grow in Christ-likeness, learning to better reflect the righteousness that Christ has already given them. We are committed to encouraging and challenging every member to mature in Christ.


Sending

The world needs more churches committed to pursuing God’s glory. We are committed to partnering with like-minded churches to accomplish this end.


Shepherding

The Bible reminds us that we are all sheep in need of a shepherd. While Jesus is the ultimate shepherd, we believe in providing care to one another as Jesus would if He were physically present with us.


Community

We need community. Discipleship happens best in the context of relationships. We are people who lean on one another through the ups and downs of life.


United

We are in this together. The Bible calls us to be of one mind, not allowing division to distract us from the vision and mission that God puts before us.
