We would love it if you'd join us for a Sunday worship service!
Join us Sundays:
Normally the first Sunday of the month is Communion; the second Sunday is the Open Hearts Jar for Mission and Service – bring some change and share something from your heart whether a joy or a challenge.
11:15 am Sunday School programming following theme time in worship
12:15 pm – typically the last Sunday of the month there is a potluck luncheon or other event.
Everyone is welcome. Feel free to ask anyone about the congregation or grab a newcomer pamphlet from the glass stand near the entrance doors. Our minister Russell is also available for conversation.

What to Expect:
As an Affirming Ministry, we are excited to see people from all walks of life come through our doors! We do our very best to accommodate everyone's needs - if you have sight, hearing or mobility challenges, please let our greeters know and we'll do what we can to make your visit with us an enjoyable one!
Sunday worship takes place in our spacious, brightly-lit sanctuary and there is always opportunity to grab a cup of coffee beforehand. A message of inclusiveness and celebration of diversity are pervasive in our services. As well as the more traditional and much-loved order of worship, several times each year, our minister Russell Mitchell-Walker, offers interactive and engaging services that incorporate activities appealing to all ages.
Our capable pianists and music director, Ethan Williams, lead us through a variety of hymns both old and new, and if the mood strikes you, there are drums available for you to join in!
Following a sharing time during the service, kids are invited to head to Sunday School classes with our warm and fun-loving staff. Other children and toddlers may stay in worship, move around, and play at the Kids’ Craft Table. When we celebrate Communion, children go to Sunday School at the very beginning and return to share Communion.
Come and experience the good energy of the Eastside congregation! Ample parking is available on the east side of the building, closest to the main entry doors. You are welcome here!
