Please consider donating: notebook paper (wide-ruled); composition notebooks; Elmer’s purple glue sticks; pens and No. 2 pencils. In addition, please see below some specific needs we have for some local kindergarten and 3rd-grade students:

Thank you!

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 September 15, please contact Ashley Willis at .

Our Sunday morning tech team runs sound and slides for the worship service, and livestreams everything on our YouTube channel and website. If you have skills that would bless this ministry or a desire to learn and serve, please contact John Willis at .
