Ewart A. Carter Jr., pastor at Ephesus Church in Gastonia, N.C., and members are actively engaged in the church’s mission to evangelize the local community. In alignment with the North American Division’s Pentecost 2025 initiative, Ephesus is committed to drawing its members and the broader community into a deeper relationship with God through its 2025 evangelistic theme: “Seek God, Learn God, Love God.”
The members have witnessed growth this year through the ministry of the spoken Word and intentional Bible study efforts, which has resulted in new individuals being added to the church through baptisms in February and March.
In April, the members hosted the first of several planned evangelistic weekends, featuring guest speaker Anthony Fuller, who currently serves as pastor at Parkside Community Church in Reading, UK.
The weekend concluded on Sabbath afternoon with a concert. Musical selections were offered by Ephesus’ own Hybl family, with additional performances by Celeste Thompson, and oratorical pieces delivered by the pastor. The entire weekend was a beautiful testament to what God is doing in Gastonia.
As the church looks to the future, its evangelistic efforts will continue with weekend events in July, culminating in a weeklong series planned for the last week of August.
