An important part of being a Christian is to give God’s love back to the community. E.P.C. offers numerous volunteer opportunities through its sponsorship of community outreach programs.

P.A.D.S. (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) Homeless Shelter site – is housed in the basement of E.P.C every Saturday night from October through April. E.P.C. hosts the shelter once a month. Other churches in Elmhurst sponsor the remaining Saturday evenings. Church members may volunteer time, supplies and meals to support this important program.
