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!

We meet on Thursday evenings for dinner and a bible study at the Beitzel’s house. We are a group of parents with kids ranging from 0-11. We enjoy being together and supporting each other through this crazy journey we call life! We attempt a Bible study each time though we are flexible with how the evening unfolds.
Matt & Debbie Swartley
Bi-weekly on Thursdays from 6:00pm to 8:00pm
Every other week we gather for dinner to catch up with what is going on in our lives, share in each other’s joys and sorrows, pray with and for each other, and explore Biblical scripture and teachings together. We are a group of parents with kids ranging in ages from 2-11.
Lehman & Yoder
Twice a month on Sundays from 4:00pm to 6:00pm
Welby & Lisa and Sherwin & Rachel co-lead an inter-generational group with empty-nesters and families with kids. Kids entertain themselves while we have a study, followed by a time of sharing, prayer, and dessert. We are currently doing a study with a book and video on the topic of parenting.

We will look at the triumphs and failures of Eve, Rebekah, Leah, Hannah, Abigail, Gomer, Mary, Mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Mary of Bethany, Martha, the Woman at the Well and the Syrophoenician Woman to challenge and encourage us to face the trials in our own lives by drawing closer to God.
Lawrence & Bonnie Yoder

We meet immediately following the worship service for a potluck lunch. Our meetings consist of a short Bible study or discussion of the morning sermon followed by a time of sharing and prayer. At this time, childcare is not provided.

Mondays from 7 to 8:30 PM
Our group is uniquely designed for non-nuclear families (unmarried, with kids, without kids, with grown kids) interested in coming together to encourage one another in this season of life. 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.
Michael & Lindsay Horst
Weekly on Sundays after church at 12:30pm
We share lunch together, catch up on life, then spend time praying together and discussing the sermon.

We would love to get to know you!
