WHAT TO EXPECT
- We connect to God through Biblical worship (text-driven preaching, Christ exalting music).
- We connect to the community by building disciples (Evangelizing, serving, loving the community around us through a team-ministry philosophy).
- We connect to disciples through Biblical shepherding (large and small group Bible study, Biblical counseling, accountability, sending).
- We are committed to the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 as our doctrinal statement. (http://www.sbc.net/bfm2000/bfm2000.asp)
Our Sunday Service times are 10:30 am and 6:00 pm. Our Sunday school classes begin at 9:30 am. We also have two services for our Wednesday Bible Study, 10:00 am and 6:30 pm.

In total, each service (Sunday morning, Sunday evening and Wednesday Morning/Night Bible Study) is about 60 minutes in length. Sunday morning and Sunday evening, the service begins with our worship team leading the congregation in music. Song lyrics are projected on the projector screens so you can sing along and/or engage in worship. After the music portion of the service, our pastor will come on stage and share a word from the Lord that is grounded and driven by the Biblical text. Here at East Side, we are committed to preaching that is expository and application that is Christ centered.
If you own a Bible, you will want to bring it. Even if it’s on your phone! Our pastor teaches straight from scripture. He refers to it often. If you don’t have one, don’t worry there are Bibles in the pews and the verses will be on the projector screens. Our pastor teaches from what is known as the New King James Version (NKJV). If you have another version, you are of course welcome to use it.
Yes, we do! Just ask an usher or someone in the sound booth. They will be happy to instruct you on how to use it!
