228 W. Edenton Street - Downtown Raleigh
We want you to know you are welcome and wanted here by a God who knows you by name and loves you without limits.
When you are full of questions or full of faith; When you know your purpose or are searching for it; When you are lonely and hurting or feel seen and valued; When you are ready to serve or to be cared for; No matter who you are, where you’re from, or who you love
We are more like the people God is calling us to be with you here.

The bible year @ ESUMC

For Vulnerable Children and Youth
Throughout Lent, we practiced almsgiving—sharing what we have to join God’s work in the world. Our goal was to raise $28,500 to fund a new Zoe Empowers empowerment group in Liberia. We surpassed our goal, and will begin journeying with a new group in July!
Through local partnerships, Zoe equips orphaned and vulnerable youth with mentoring, education, and resources to move from extreme poverty to full self-sufficiency in just three years.
Over the past ten years, we have journeyed alongside nine empowerment groups—made up of 755 children and youth—and now we are able to start a 10th group, helping even more young people build a brighter future!
