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!

Find Your Small Group

We have small groups happening at different times throughout the week. Find a small group that fits your schedule and use the link to email the leader(s) of that small group for more information.

  We are an intergenerational group that meets weekly after church on Sunday for lunch, fellowship, discussion, and prayer. Our children enjoy being part of our group, playing together throughout our meeting time. This academic year we will meet together as a big group some weeks, and separate men/women after lunch other weeks.

• Lawrence & Bonnie Yoder

  Bi-weekly on Sundays at 12:45pm

  We meet immediately following the worship service once or twice a month. Normally, we share a potluck lunch at our home in Lacey Spring. When the weather is nice, we enjoy meeting in an outdoor setting. Our meetings consist of a discussion of the morning sermon followed by a time of sharing and prayer. We are an intergenerational group with members ranging from preschool to retired. All are welcome! At this time, childcare is not provided so children play on their own while we meet.

  Wednesdays at 6pm

  We live in Fort Defiance and host at our house, but meet at the church about once a month. Our time together includes dinner followed by a short study and prayer. Since we have both single and married folks, we separate into groups of men and women for our study and prayer time. Children range from newborns to age 16, and the older children help out with the younger ones. All are welcome, especially if you live in the Bridgewater, southern Harrisonburg or Augusta County areas.
