sharing the gospel from our corner to the ends of earth
East Aurora Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

We welcome you to the church family known as East Aurora Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).  We are continuing our mission of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ from our corner to the ends of the earth, through worship and service as faithful and obedient disciples of Christ in this community, witnessing to the gospel of life that is abundant, whole and eternal. 

We continue our regular schedule:  9:30 am - Bible Study; 10:30 am  - Traditional worship, with Sunday School for children and youth.  

Just as the first disciples received gifts that enabled the church to be born and grow, so we who follow Jesus now are called and  commissioned to do the same in our time and place.  And as we here continue on our journey toward new beginnings, we can trust God to lead us, as God led Jesus, and we can trust that the outcome will be new life in spite of what it looks like now. 

We are now beginning to work out what we have discerned as we look to the future God has for us here.   Our Transition Leadership Team has begun to act, and to get the transition task groups working.  The Transition Leadership Team is listed on the 'SERVICES' page.  The Task groups are:  Ways & Means (financial), Workplace (grounds, facilities, etc), PAC (publicity, advertizing, communication), Missioning (vision, outreach), Program (activities, groups, etc), Elders, and Search.  We still can use some help on these task groups to get through these times.  We ask for your prayers and support in these times as we continue to discern what specific focus our mission here will be, as we look forward to continue to share the good news of Jesus Christ with our community, to be a place of blessing and wholeness to a fragmented world.  We are also in conversation with other churches who are facing similar situations, as the world becomes increasingly uninterested in church life.  Who knows what the Spirit is inviting us to do and be as the people of God in these days.     

Our Health Ministry team continues to look for ways to integrate faith and health, and rejoice that our Parish Nurse,   We understand that Jesus sent his disciples into the world to preach, teach and heal, and so the church should be involved in this ministry as well as the more familiar preaching and teaching.  We continue our walking together at least twice a month.  It is generally held the first and third Thursdays of the month.  

We invite you to join us in worship, education, stewardship and service as we make Christ known from our corner here in East Aurora, to the ends of the earth.  We do this as faithful and obedient disciples of Christ through this community of faith known as East Aurora Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

Please feel free to contact us at eaXn@juno.com, or by calling the church office at 652-5040.

Rev. Kenneth W. Neal, Transitional Minister 


The Rev. Dr. Kenneth W. Neal has been called to serve as our interim pastor. Interim pastors serve during the interim period while the search for a permanent pastor continues. Usually an interim serves a minimum of 6 months. He assists the church in its search for a permanent pastoral replacement as well as fulfilling many of the other duties of a regular, permanent pastor. Once the permanent pastor is called and accepts the call, the Interim’s period of service ends.

The Search Committee needs and welcomes your prayers as it continues its work. Please think and pray for us as we seek to discern his Will for the future of East Aurora Christian Church.

Your faithful servants,

EACC Search Committee (Virginia Thessen, Charlotte Horstmann, Dode Keller, Dottie Keller, Bill Carrick, Carol Carrick, Tony Izzo, Jennifer Izzo, Nancy Naffziger)
