EASTSIDE EVENTS
Encounter Shut-In
We went all day for the last Encounter; now we're going all night! Encounter is about space. Space to pray; to listen; to worship; and simply be with God. Come for a few minutes or stay for hours; we will be here, God will be here, and you'll be met right where you are!
Join us Friday, August 28 at 8pm until Saturday, August 29th at 8am.

Ladies, Lunch & Laughts
Eastside Women! We're gathering for an amazing time of fellowship! Ladies, lunch and laughs! Join us after service on Sunday, August 30th for a potluck-style lunch! Bring a dish to share.
No dish? No worries! We'll gladly accept you empty-handed! Your presence is what we truly desire. See you there, Ladies
Refuge
We believe healing happens in community. Refuge is a Christ-centered ministry that provides safe, intentional spaces for individuals who are navigating or have experienced life’s brokenness. Whether carrying hurt from the past, wrestling with destructive patterns, walking through a difficult season, or simply recognizing a desire for deeper healing and growth, you do not have to walk through it alone.
Through authentic community, biblical truth, support, accountability, spiritual encouragement, and practical education, Refuge creates opportunities to better understand our stories, develop healthier patterns, deepen our relationship with Jesus, and experience greater freedom.
Refuge is not about having it all together. It is a space to be known, supported, challenged, and encouraged as we pursue healing and spiritual formation together—continually pointing one another back to the hope and wholeness found in Jesus Christ.

SERV
If you serve (or want to serve) at Eastside, you are invited to a day of connection, cultivation, and celebration on September 19th from 9am-4pm. This is more than a training - it's an opportunity for us to align our hearts, minds, and hands in service to our entire Eastside community, neighborhood, and city.
Click HERE to register! If you have any questions, please reach out to Rebecca at rebecca@eastsideidc.com.
Baptism
Baptism is something Jesus asks His followers to do to show they are committed to following Him. It’s a practice that represents Jesus has paid for our sins and we are now raised up to a new life with Him. If you’d like to take that step and are interested in baptism, please email us at info@eastsideidc.com.
Sunday Food Pantry
On Sundays ongoing after church until 12:45 we will have an opportunity for food sharing. Any donations should be nonperishable unless previously coordinated with the Pantry team. Thank you for donating your extra and thank you for shopping. Let's take care of each other!

The best place to be on a Tuesday night!
EVERY Tuesday Night
at 6:30pm
Did you know that every Tuesday Night @ 6:30pm Eastside Imago Dei has a full-blown ministry with worship, testimonies, teachings, small groups, meals and childcare? That’s right, it’s called Celebrate Recovery – CR for short!
Celebrate Recovery exists to see real people, completely in love with God, gain freedom from their hurts, hang-ups and habits and come into right relationship with God & others. CR is a lighthouse to those in need of healing, refuge, community and the love & grace of God. Come and see what the Lord is doing every Tuesday evening.
If you would like to get involved and serve in the Ministry, or for more information, reach out to Judy at Judy@eastsideidc.com.
It’s life changing!

EASTSIDE SERVICE
OPPORTUNITIES
Christ takes care of His Church, His Bride by the humble work of His people, Eastside is a part of that Bride. We are a family made up of teams that love and care for each other. When we all carry the responsibility of loving and caring for one another it does not have to be a burden to any of us.
As a part of the family of God, everything we do we want to do it unto the Lord, because He is the One that we do this for. We need help and we want more than just enough.
If you know that there is more that you can do in serving, scan the QR code and fill out the Volunteer Form. Our Volunteer Coordinator will work with you to find that place that will be a blessing for you to serve in.

Matthew 9:37-38: “Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few…”
The youth ministries are faithfully meeting on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and need more faithful adults willing to come be volunteer leaders and invest in the lives of the kids in our community. We accept all different ages, abilities and we especially need men as we have only one in each ministry. You can speak with Brandi or Andrew if you want to get involved!

Corporate Prayer
We are a people seeking to know God and be known by God. One of the primary ways we get to know God is through spending time talking and listening to God - that’s prayer. At Eastside, we value praying together as a family.
Here are the ways you can come together for corporate prayer:
Prayer Zoom Calls: Gather together from the comfort of your home. These meetings happen Mon - Sat, from 6AM-7AM.
Sunday Morning Prayer: These meetings are weekly from 9 am- 9:50 am, in the Youth room.
Overeaters Anonymous (OA) is a place to find recovery from unhealthy relationships with food and body image. It is not a diet club. There are no dues, fees or weigh-ins. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively. All are welcome!
Meetings are held EVERY THURSDAY at 7PM, Room 112.
