Want to talk about intentionality? Let’s do it. East Lake Community Church is a place where intentionality isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a way of life. This church genuinely desires for everyone to feel welcomed and reflects the diverse community of Irmo and the greater Columbia area. The staff embodies a “we” mentality, collaborating as a unified team to grow as disciple-makers and reach those outside the faith with the transformative message of the Gospel.
Located in Irmo, South Carolina, East Lake Community Church has been a beacon of hope and faith since its founding in 1998 through the merging of Palmetto Point and Dutch Fork Christian Church. With a mission rooted in the Gospel, East Lake exists to help people know God, live out His truth, and share His love.
Embracing the diverse, multi-cultural makeup of the Irmo area, East Lake fosters a welcoming, come-as-you-are environment where dynamic worship, authentic community, and engaging messages inspire life transformation. Known for its commitment to outreach and discipleship, the church serves its community through family ministries, service projects, and partnerships with local missions.
Led by a dedicated team, East Lake remains focused on creating spaces where people can encounter God and grow as fully devoted disciples of Jesus.
The Children’s Pastor/Director will oversee all the efforts toward the youngest part of the East Lake Community– those in the nursery through grade five. The main pillar is the Sunday morning ministry to these children during both of the worship service times, but also includes special outreach events, summer programming (VBS) and other ministry opportunities as well.
