Executive Director of Outreach

Missionary baptist Meet Eastern Star Church

Eastern Star Church (ESC) is a vibrant, faith-driven community rooted in evangelism, discipleship, and holistic impact. With a history dating back to the early 1900s, what began as a storefront ministry expanded into a permanent building in Indianapolis in 1941. For more than 100 years, Eastern Star has remained grounded in its calling to bring the unsaved into a relationship with Jesus Christ while faithfully nurturing and supporting those on their spiritual journey.

Today, the church continues to grow across three campuses (Main Campus, Fishers Campus, and Cooper Road Campus) under the leadership of newly installed Lead Pastor Jeffrey

A. Johnson II.

The mission of the Eastern Star Church ministry is evangelism and discipleship. We are committed to the Great Commission instituted by Jesus Christ to nurture and save souls (Matthew 28:18–20). Everything we have done is to live out the vision God has given to our church family. From adding ministries to staffing, from building facilities to developing programs, from stewardship to membership, every effort has been centered on obedience to the commission of Christ.
