We know that sometimes your first visit can feel a little overwhelming or intimidating. We think you'll quickly discover why we say this is for everyone. We are a diverse congregation of all ages, and a place to take a next step wherever you are in your spiritual journey. We welcome the skeptic, the doubter and the believer. Eastside is a place where it's okay to not be okay.
Here are some frequently asked questions you may have before you join us:
Our Easter services are about 65-70 minutes. Our music is upbeat and contemporary and you may even recognize a song or two. Sometimes we’re loud so we guarantee you won’t fall asleep!
We recommend arriving about 30 minutes early. You’ll enjoy having some extra time before the service starts to enjoy all the decor, make memories at our great photo ops, grab a drink in our cafe or enjoy a meal at our grill.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Kidside Easter Jam for children Birth-5th Grade. Celebrating Easter is about new life and growth. Preschoolers will enjoy music, storytime, a yummy treat, and make a special craft to bring home and watch grow. Elementary kids will bounce along with music, games, and inflatables! Whatever your child’s age, they will love hangin’ with us in Kidside.
WHAT SHOULD MY CHILDREN WEAR?
This year the “fun element” of our Easter JAM for elementary kids is bouncing on inflatables and climbing through obstacle courses. Please have your child wear something conducive to jumping, sweating, getting dirty, and having the best time. Socks would also be beneficial as kids will need to remove their shoes.
We have awesome, fully screened volunteers who serve at the same service each week to ensure your kids are making friends and learning important Biblical truths in the most fun way possible. Click HERE for more information about our children’s programs.
Special Forces is our special needs ministry at Eastside Christian Church. Providing a safe and loving environment for persons with social, physical, mental, or developmental differences where we encourage them in their relationship with Jesus! During every service, we will also be offering special forces programming. For more information please visit eastside.com/specialforces.
