Eastside believes in heartfelt, know-so, whosoever salvation. Meaning, that in order for one to be saved or be born again (John 3:1-18, KJV) one must repent of their sins and have faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 20:21, KJV). This is available to every nation, society, culture, etc., Repentance is more than worldly sorrow which brings death but must be Godly sorrow which brings salvation (2 Cor. 7:10, KJV). Repentance is more than feeling sorry for oneself but a full surrender to Jesus Christ (Acts 9:5, Acts 26:14, KJV). Faith is a confiding trust or most assured belief in Jesus Christ. Scriptural faith can only be placed in Christ alone which excludes good works, sacraments, ordinances, mental decisions, water baptism, etc., Salvation is from above and is received by unmerited favor from Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8,9, KJV).
Church is not about the nice buildings, cars or who lives where. The beauty is found in the people and their service to Jesus Christ. Eastside MBC is a community of baptized believers. We desire all to be saved and promote growth in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
Of course! A family altar can alter a family. Attending church is not about us, it is about the One we serve.
