Small Groups
A great way to get plugged in at Eastside Church is through small groups. We offer a variety of small groups, including families, single gender, content specific, age specific and life-stage specific groups. In our Eastside family, we share our joys, griefs, successes, challenges, calm and crazy days. We know we are meant to live and do life together. It starts here!

Michael & Lindsay Horst
Weekly on Sundays at 12:30pm or 6pm
We share lunch together, catch up on life, then spend time praying together and are currently discussing the Discovery Bible method. We have families in different life stages, and that's one of our favorite things about our group! We enjoy learning and growing together. We also enjoy social events throughout the year. We would love to get to know you!

We’ll be doing a study titled “Eternal Perspective: Living life in light of eternity”, diving into how we can best use our circumstances as opportunities to show the world who Christ is. Bring your best pinterest fails, financial oops, questions about God, and insta-pot recipes to share! Childcare TBD.
