We have needs in our congregation that you might be able to meet! Some members of our church family need help with transportation on Sunday mornings. Can you offer a ride to church? One couple in our church is experiencing health challenges and could use help with occasional meals and laundry. Are you willing to help? If so, please email for more information.
Eastside has an exciting opportunity to share the love of Christ with children living in Powhatan Apartments. If you are interested in serving on Wednesdays from 3:45-4:45 PM starting in mid-September, please contact Ashley Willis at .

Scenes from Sunday
In our August 8 service, we prayed for healing for all who raised their hands. We believe He loves us! “Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out and touched him. ‘I am willing,’ he said. ‘Be healed!’” (Mark 1:41). If you need healing prayer, we want to pray with you, and if you have experienced healing, we want to celebrate with you what God has done!
We worship in person at 10 AM and our service streams live on our YouTube channel (Eastside Administration). Childcare/children’s ministry is offered during the 10 AM service. As we celebrate Communion each Sunday, you are invited to share the elements provided by the church or feel free to bring your own bread and grape juice.
Wednesday Night
Attention all middle and high school students! Join us Wednesday, August 18 for laser tag! For all the details, contact Emma Bruce, Summer Youth Associate, at .
Sunday Prayer
