At Eastside Church, we strive to be a community that is authentic and welcomes everyone- no matter where you are at in life. We take our mission statement to heart: to love everyone no matter what, and to serve anyone who may be in need.

There is but one living and true God, the maker and preserver of all things. And in the unity of this God there are three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one in eternity, deity, and purpose, everlasting, of infinite power, wisdom, and goodness.

The Bible is God’s written Word, uniquely inspired by the Holy Spirit. It bears unerring witness to Jesus Christ, the living Word. As attested by the early church and subsequent councils, it is the trustworthy record of God’s revelation, completely truthful in all it affirms. It has been faithfully preserved and proves itself true in human experience. The Scripture have come to us through human authors who wrote, as God moved them, in the languages and literary forms of their times. God continues, by the illumination of the Holy Spirit, to speak through this Word to each generation and culture.

God created human beings in His own image, innocent, morally free, and responsible to choose between good and evil, right and wrong. By the sin of Adam, humans as the offspring of Adam are corrupted in their very nature so that from birth they are inclined to sin. God, the Omnipotent, provides all the resources of the Trinity to make it possible for humans to respond to His grace through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. By God’s grace and help people are enabled to do good works with a free will. The call of life is this: love the Lord God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself. These commands reveal what is best for persons in their relationship with God, others, and society.

Christ offered once and for all the one perfect sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. No other satisfaction for sin is necessary; none other can atone. Whoever believes in Jesus Christ and seeks forgiveness of their sin will have eternal life and the freedom to enter into a life-changing relationship with God.

A new life and a right relationship with God are made possible through the redemptive acts of God in Jesus Christ. God, by His Spirit, acts to impart new life and put people in a relationship with Himself as they repent and their faith responds to His grace. Effective life change begins when we follow Jesus Christ and his commandments: to love God and love others, and use the gifts the Holy Spirit gives us to glorify God. In our new life in Christ, we are called to model his love and goodness towards others.
