Frequently Asked Questions
“What kind of music will I hear at Eastside?”
Mixed throughout these different parts of our service are hymns and songs to praise God. Our worship uses the best of the church throughout the ages bringing God’s promises and his will into our modern lives.
“What do people wear at Eastside? Do I have to dress up?”
Since the Bible presents no dress code, aside from simple decency and Christian humility, we don’t make any rules either. Like most people, our members try to make their worship time at church a special time. This is often reflected in the way they dress as they strive to show reverence to God. But dress is a personal matter of worship before God. One may dress casually and rejoice that we have a God who accepts us as we are, while others dress to reflect the awe and reverence we have for our God and Savior King.
“What if I know my child is going to be too noisy?”
We encourage parents of young children to attend worship services with their children. This begins the good habits of attending worship services at an early age. But we also understand the difficulties of parenting, so we provide restless child room so parents can teach and instruct their children, while still participating in the worship service when they feel they might be disrupting worship.
“What if I say or do something wrong?”
All of us have felt this way when in a new situation. But we hope you see the people of our congregation to be ordinary people like yourself. We want to accept you as you are and help you to become what Christ wants you to be.
“Will anyone try to involve me or sign me up?”
We believe that church membership should be a voluntary thing, and that the most important thing is to trust in Christ for the forgiveness of sins and salvation. It takes time for this to be cultivated. People need time to evaluate and decide if they wish further involvement. We will respect that need and won’t pressure you to join. But we do encourage you to worship with us again. Visit us on several occasions and make an informed decision for yourselves.
We pray this information has answered some of the questions you may have about worship at Eastside. If you have further questions, if you would like to learn about our congregation, or you would like to know more about the Bible’s teachings, please feel free to call or email. We will be happy to assist you in whatever way we can.
