| Welcome
to ESBC |
| thinking
about visiting? |
| We would love to have you experience
one of our Sunday morning services. Whether this
is your first time stepping foot in a church or
you're looking for a great fellowship to call home,
you'll find our services engaging and inspirational.
We have two identical contemporary worship services
at 9:15am and 11:00am. |
| |
| what
are the services like? |
| Sunday mornings at East Side are
designed to help you grow closer to God through
relevant music, video, drama, and teaching. We strive
for every service to be dynamic and worth your time
and effort. You'll find the weekend worship experience
at ESBC to be casual, creative, and Christ-centered. |
| |
| .casual |
| At ESBC you'll find the people and
the worship environment to be casual. So, wear whatever
you feel comfortable in. If you want to come in
jeans...great. If you prefer to look a little more
dressed up...that's fine. However, don't expect
to see more than the occasonal tie and dress on
a Sunday. At East Side, we like to focus on just
being ourselves and making people feel comfortable. |
| |
| .creative |
| At ESBC we believe in the value of
creativity because our God is the Creative Creator.
We believe the church should strive to be the most
creative place on the planet. Therefore, we incorporate
video, lighting, drama, and modern musical instruments
into every service. We strive to create compelling
and engaging worship environments every weekend
to help you with connect with God. Our style of
worship would be considered "Contemporary Christian"
which means we sing mostly contemporary Christian
music with a mix of a hymn or two every week. To
see what we've been singing lately, check out our
Worship Setlists
page. Worship is led by our band which includes
electric guitars, a bass guitar, an acoustic guitar,
keyboard, drums, and various vocalists. |
| |
| .Christ-centered |
| At East Side we believe that it's
all about Jesus. Therefore, we strive for Christ-centered
services. We aim to present the gospel every week
through relevant music and teaching. Pastor Corey
shares messages from the Bible in a way that makes
sense, are easy to understand, and help you connect
the Bible to modern day life. |
| |
| what's
available for kids? |
Activities are provided for children
of all ages during both worship services, giving
you the ability to attend both Worship and Bible
Study. If you have little ones (under 2 1/2),
you are welcome to utilize our excellent Nursery
Ministry. We offer high quality learning environments
for children of all ages. Check out our Childrens'
Ministry area for more info.
Also, when you attend a worship service, your
children (of all ages) are welcome to attend the
musical half of the service if you'd like them
to, and then leave and join their appropriate
Bible study just before Pastor Corey begins his
message. This is not considered a disruption to
the service and is actually encouraged so that
your children can experience the singing portion
of the service. |
| |
| what
if I'm a mom with a new baby? |
| If you're a new mom with a baby you're
not ready to leave in the nursery yet, feel free
to use our Sitting Room. This special room, just
down the hall from the worship center, is a private
area for you to use if you need to leave the service
because your little one is upset or needs feeding.
You can still enjoy the service with a live feed
on the TV in the room. You'll also find a changing
table and toys to occupy your baby if needed. |
| |
| are
there any adult Bible study groups on Sundays? |
| We offer one main Adult Bible Study
during each service time. Therefore, you can come
to worship at 9:15 and attend Bible study at 11:00,
or you can come to Bible study at 9:15 and then
attend worship at 11:00. We've set things up this
way to provide room for our growing church family.
When you attend Bible study, you'll get a practical
message from a great teacher and you'll have a chance
to connect with East Sider's on a more personal
level. |
