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, and enjoy a meal at our grill.
