Wilson Community Church is now Eastgate Church
On April 2, 2022, Wilson Community Church became Eastgate Church — uniting our Wilson and Rocky Mount campuses under one name, one family, and one mission.
What’s behind the change?
In 2015, we launched a campus in Rocky Mount and called it Eastgate Community Church. We couldn’t very well have a Wilson Community Church in Rocky Mount, could we? The plan was always to eventually rename our Wilson campus to Eastgate as well — and that time has come.
After 30 years of faithfulness to and through His church, God has given us a vision for the future.
Our 10-Year Vision
“We will actively collaborate with other Gospel-centered churches in Rocky Mount, Wilson, and a third yet-to-be-identified community in Eastern NC — so that every man, woman, and child has repeated opportunities to see, hear, and respond to the Gospel.”
We make disciples of Jesus Christ
For those God entrusts to our church, we make disciples who have a growing:
Heart for God
Expressed in passionate worship and generous giving.
Heart for Each Other
Expressed in authentic fellowship and devoted discipleship.
Heart for Our World
Expressed in intentional evangelism and sacrificial service.
Two campuses, one Eastgate
On April 2, 2022, at our Wilson campus, we held a grand-opening service to unveil the new sign on our building and celebrate the completion of our Rise Up journey — formally opening the Gathering Place, new restrooms, expanded kids ministry spaces for birth through preschool, and an updated lobby. Our Rocky Mount campus is now known as Eastgate Church Rocky Mount.
Our former website, wccnc.org, has merged with and permanently redirects to eastgate.church.
