The church at Eastside is a group of Christians who enjoy fellowship with God and with one another, and in that order. We are drawn to one another as we are first drawn to God.
Christians at Eastside believe in God's word, the Bible; we have no man-made creed. We depend on God's word for instruction in righteousness, whether that instruction involve character building or doctrinal matters. We regard the Bible as literal truth and have a uniform respect for its entirety, including the concrete statements concerning the creation and resurrection, as well as the abstract language seen in the parables of Jesus and in prophetic writings. Also, we regard the Bible as the authority for all that we do.
As an organization, the Eastside Church of Christ is independent. That is, we are not linked to other congregations in some sort of religious hierarchy. We are neither Catholic nor protestant. Nor are we denominational or sectarian. We are a local congregation, as designed by Christ, and unashamed of being called a "church."

Our purpose as a church is to do what Christ intended the local church to do, nothing more and nothing less. We strive to serve God and help one another do the same. We evangelize, that is, teach lost souls about salvation in Jesus Christ. We assemble weekly to worship God in a collective sense. In these assemblies, we encourage one another spiritually. And we care for each others' benevolent needs. Our hope is that in all things, God may be glorified.
At Eastside, our focus is spiritual. While many of our individual members have personal interests and expertise in healthy living, financial stability, career development, and other worthwhile concerns, our activities as a group remain those of a local church-evangelism, edification, and benevolence. This spiritual focus is kept in mind at all times, as we develop our teaching efforts and even as we design our facilities.
