Mask Policy at ECC
We have received questions regarding the mask policy mandated by the Ohio Department of Health. For clarification we would like to share a few things about how we will function while this order is in place. Our compliance statement reads:
In light of the Ohio Department of Health facial mask order, we are asking that all those participating in our Worship service and Sunday morning classes wear a mask upon entering the building, with the exception of children under the age of 10 and those with medical conditions that exempt them from this requirement. We also ask that you continue to allow proper social distancing. Masks will be available for any who needs one.
Therefore,
- Any person who is unable to wear a mask because of a medical condition is still permitted to attend worship services and classes without a mask.
- Children under the age of 10 are not required to wear a mask in the church building.
- We are asking all other individuals to show care and respect by wearing a facial mask.
- Social distancing is encouraged in all settings.
Thank you for understanding. We look forward to lifting this policy as soon as we are able. Please feel free to contact the church office if you have any questions.
Sharing Life, Sharing Christ,
Pastor Dan

Youth Work Days (July 23-25)
As a youth ministry we do not operate on an island by ourselves. Instead, we embrace the mission of ECC to Share Life and Share Christ. One way we’re intentionally focusing on this mission is through our Youth Work Days. For three days (July 23-25) students from ECC will be making efforts to care for people’s homes, clean up yards in the city, wash windows, split wood… you name it and we’ll do it!
Our goal is to not only care for our church community, the city of Eaton, but also raise money for Eternal Families. Eternal Families is a ministry that exists to give a Mom and a Dad to the orphan children in Tanzania. For more information, be sure to visit their Facebook page.
If you have a friend or neighbor who needs help, maybe consider setting up a project with them, and donating on their behalf. If you, yourself, have work needing done we would be glad to help! We are currently looking for 6-10 projects to complete. Each day (July 23-25) we will have two work parties that will work for 2 and a half hours each. One crew in the morning (9:00-11:30AM) and another in the afternoon (1:00-3:30PM).
Please consider partnering with us to give to this incredible ministry, and help us build homes for children and their parents. If you have a project, please contact Becky Duncan at the church office or through email: becky.duncan@eatoncommunitychurch.org.
Projects are first come, first serve. If our project list is full, you will also be put on a wait list and we will do our best to work you in.
If you haven’t registered yet, please make sure to pick at least one time slot (though we encourage you to pick multiples). Register here.
Blessings,
P. Josh
