Black History

This month, we celebrate Black History Month at Eastown by honoring the incredible accomplishments and courage of Black men and women who have helped shape our nation's history and culture.

Their resilience continues to inspire us today.

Honoring and Engaging Together

While celebrating the Black community shouldn’t be limited to a single month, this cultural moment calls for our attention and action. As equity is challenged and voices are devalued, our engagement matters.

We seek to be a community that listens, learns, and grows in empathy—allowing understanding to move us toward meaningful action. This can include exploring new resources, engaging in thoughtful conversations, building relationships, and supporting impactful organizations.

We invite you to explore our collection of books, podcasts, devotionals, and more—tools to deepen understanding and foster change. By amplifying diverse voices, supporting Black-owned businesses and nonprofits, and actively pursuing justice and love, we reflect the heart of Jesus.
