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.
