EASTSIDE EVENTS
Youth Ministry
Interest Meeting
We’re rebuilding our youth ministry, and Pastor Mike is inviting any adults interested in serving middle and high school students to join him for a time of vision casting and conversation.
If you have a heart to see the youth of our church and city transformed by the power of God and discipled into the way of Jesus—this is for you.
Sunday, April 19th | After the morning service
Please register using the QR code so we can prepare.
Lunch and a space for kids to play will be provided.
(And yes… the lunch is real 😉)
Ladies, Lunch and Laughs!
Eastside Women! We're gathering for an amazing time of fellowship! Ladies, lunch and laughs! Join us after service on Sunday, February 22nd for a potluck-style lunch! Bring a dish to share...and in the words of Pastor Mike, no experiments please and thank you! Ha! No dish? No worries, we'll gladly accept you empty-handed! Your presence is what we truly desire. See you there sister!
Made for More
At Eastside, we have a growing community of adults in their 20s & 30s seeking deeper connection with God and others. Questions with Jesus is a safe space to explore faith, build relationships, and engage meaningful questions like: Is God good despite evil? and Does God accept everyone? Together, we’ll look at who Jesus is in the Bible and what it means to live like Him today.
Each week includes large group teaching, small group discussion, and mentorship—every participant will be paired with a mentor, similar to our Growing in Christ workshop.
Program Dates: Sundays, 12:00pm - 1:30pm through May 17th (5 weeks total)
Snacks and childcare provided.
If you're in your 20s or 30s, we’d love for you to join us.
If you're outside that age group and interested in growing your discipleship or mentoring others, we invite you to be part of this as a mentor—no need to be perfect, just willing to walk alongside others in their faith journey.

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.

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.

We need more volunteer leaders!
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!
