Eastlake Baptist Church

What Eastlake Baptist Church does

Eastlake Baptist Church is a private nonprofit religious organization operating a single Southern Baptist congregation in Crown Point, Indiana. The church delivers weekly worship services on Sundays at 10:30 AM and a Wednesday evening Bible study at 7:15 PM, supported by an array of age-graded ministries: nursery, Sunday School, BLAST (Building Lives Around Solid Truth) for K–3rd graders, AWANA clubs for ages 2 through 6th grade, Echo Youth Group for teenagers, and adult Connection Groups organized by demographic and interest. The church's digital footprint includes a YouTube channel for live-streamed services and a sermon archive with downloadable study notes, as well as an online giving portal through the Realm platform. Doctrinally, the congregation adheres to the Baptist Faith and Message of 2000 and is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention.

The organization's revenue model is entirely donation-based, with tithes and offerings collected via a Sunday morning offering plate and supplemented by digital contributions through Realm. No fees are charged for any program, service, or event. The paid staff consists of five individuals: a Senior Pastor, a Pastor of Youth, a Praise Team/Tech Leader, a Financial Manager, and an Administrative Assistant. There is no proprietary technology, mobile application, or API surface; the website (eastlakebaptist.net) functions as a content hub and the YouTube channel serves as the primary remote-engagement channel. All operational programming — children's ministries, youth fellowship, Vacation Bible School, small groups, and pastoral counseling — is delivered through the single physical campus at 7121 East Lincoln Highway (US 30), Crown Point, Indiana.
