God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth (John 4:24)

Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us.”

about us.

Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us.”

DOING BIBLE THINGS IN BIBLE WAYS

In our daily lives this is our first and highest goal. We do not want to be merely speakers and hearers of the word, but doers of it throughout our lives. (James 1:25, Philippians 4:9). Where the Bible looses we want to loose, where it binds then so do we.

Speak where the Bible speaks

When we teach the Bible we want to speak not from our own think-so, but from the word of God (1 Peter 4:11). The Holy Spirit has revealed in the word the bounds and the liberty that God has established for the faith. So we earnestly want to “accurately handle the word of truth” when we speak (2 Timothy 2:15); to know that we are speaking in accordance with God’s will.

Be Silent Where the Bible is Silent

This idea protects both the liberty of the Christian and the mission of the church. While the church as a collective is bound to operate by its mandate; the Christian is set at liberty to do all good works (as defined by God). We desire then to not exceed what is written (1 Corinthians 4:6), keeping us from going too far (2 John 9) and straying from the truth of God. (see also: 2 Timothy 2:16, 23)

Call Bible Things By Bible Names

We seek to honor the will of God even in how He calls things (1 Corinthians 11:1; Colossians 3:17). Primarily this protects us from being deceived over time by subtle manipulations of meaning. This requires constant vigilance, but it is worth the effort as this moves us always to look to the text and its context to understand the truth and the terms used to define truth(2 Timothy 3:16–17). (see also: Psalm 119:37, 40, 93)

Walk in Newness of Life

“Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.” – Romans 6:4
The Word

“preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.” (2 Timothy 4:2)
Evangelist Patrick Brentlinger

“So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also... For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes... For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”” (Romans 1:15–17)

Unity in Truth & Love

Testimonials

““Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)
Carol McCaskill
Jeremiah 3:15 says, "I will give you shepherds after my own heart who will feed you on knowledge and understanding!" This body of Christ is a wonderful group to learn the Word of God with, be welcomed into the kingdom, and learn how, by the examples in this body, to be ready for our heavenly kingdom. This body shows how to stir one another up to good works meeting together as the day draws near.
Peter Jarabek
If you want to hear heart-felt teaching from the BIble, Eastside church is where you want to go!
Dave Finch
“This is a congregation that is ONLY interested in serving the Lord the way the Lord commands. They always look to give the book chapter verse for their answers.
If it weren’t for this congregation, I would not be the faithful Christian that I am today. Patrick, the Evangelist there, encouraged me to head up a bible study at the local grocery store. So as I studied with others, it pushed me even more in scripture to show myself approved unto God (2 Tim. 2:15). This led me to become an evangelist in other parts of the country.
As a whole, the congregation practices and lives what is taught in Ephesians 6:10-20, doing all to stand firm in the Lord.”
What to Expect?

Worship

“But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:23–24)

Prayer

“First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,” (1 Timothy 2:1)

Led in Prayer

The prayers you will hear are heartfelt and humble. We pray to the heavenly Father through Jesus Christ. We petition, supplicate, give thanks, and entreat our heavenly Father.

Singing

“Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”
(Colossians 3:16)

We Sing A'cappella

We do this, not because we can't afford an organ or piano, but because we believe they distract from the pure sacrifice of praise from our lips offered to God by the voices which He created (Hebrews 13:15). This is what we believe the Bible teaches us to do (Ephesians 5:19).

The Lord's Supper

“For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”
(1 Corinthians 11:26)

"This do in remembrence
of me"

We partake of unleavened bread and fruit of the vine (grape juice) to remember the sinless body of Christ and His life giving blood that was sacrificed for us.

Preaching

“How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?”
(Romans 10:14)

This is the heading

“I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.”
(2 Timothy 4:1–2)

“On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.”
(1 Corinthians 16:2)
