Partnering Congregations
Eastern Hills is always prayerfully considering future partners. If you are an ethnic or international church that worships in a language other than English or if you are considering starting a church to reach a particular people group, you may be a potential partner.
What is the One Voice Vision that our partners share?
Our "One Voice Vision" is based from Romans 15:5-6, specifically verse 6:
​
"Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, 6 so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
​
One Voice is the vision of a family of churches partnered together to display God’s kingdom through unity in diversity. Our focus is to bridge the multicultural landscape of Charlotte with a family of partnered churches glorifying God together.
5 Key One Voice Partnership Principles

Sharing of leadership and responsibilities involving a team of leaders from each congregation working together to plan and coordinate ministries as well as volunteers at every level of ministry working together.
