Spring Worship Night!

"Lift up your voice, and with us sing" in songs of worship and celebration, praising the Lord as we move through this Spring season! Bring your favorite appetizer or dessert to share during our festive fellowship time after the event.

Upcoming Events

We are excited for the events we have planned next month! Opportunities for us to draw closer to God, to each other, and the communities around us! 

We will be having our Good Friday service on April 15th at 6:30 pm.

Moreover, we will be having our baptism service on Sunday, April 24. Anyone who is interested in being baptized should contact Pastor Doug Bunn  !

Turning Point

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble” (Psalm  46:1).

 Eastside’s Turning Point Ministry is here to give you an extra level of emotional and spiritual support during challenging times. Turning Point is not professional counseling but does offer hope in Christ, encouragement, and practical recommendations (including ministry and community referrals, when appropriate) tailored to your current concerns.

 Appointments are available with our Turning Point Director, Ashley Willis (M.A. Pastoral Counseling). To schedule your confidential appointment, please email or call/text 757-784-5165. We look forward to sharing God’s love for you through Turning Point.

“Now let your unfailing love comfort me, just as you promised me, your servant” (Psalm 119:76).

Youth Group

“Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him" (Psalms 127:3). As our Youth continue to grow, let us pray for them. They are a gift from God and an aspect of His love is reflected through the love we have for them. 

We will not be having Youth Group tonight!

Here is an updated Youth Schedule for the next few weeks:

  • April 22th: Co-ed Youth Group (Eastside)
  • May 6th: Co-ed Youth Group (Eastside)
