At Eastridge, we are committed to helping you build your family and your life in Christ.  There are several opportunities for you to “take the next step” at Eastridge and we invite you to join us in this exciting journey of faith and to build some great new friendships along the way!

New to Eastridge? Join us for Café Connections.
Café Connections is a brief “meet and greet” time following each of our four weekend services.  Here you can take a few minutes to meet some of our leadership team, find out more about the different ministries available to you and your family, and discover a little more about who we are as a church family, our vision and our future.  Whether it is your first time or you have been coming for months, you are welcome to take this first step of introduction to Eastridge.  We look forward to meeting you!
Here are the details for Café Connections

Are you at a new “Starting Point” in your Life and Faith?
We invite you to join us for a weekly class called “Starting Point.”  Whether you are just checking out what it means to have a relationship with God, have recently made a decision to start a new relationship with Christ,  or have been a Christian for awhile and want to get better grounded in your faith this class is for you.  Here you’ll meet others who also want to learn more about what it means to be a Christian and get better equipped in your walk with God.  This happens through a class of 8 rotating classes, designed this way so that you can jump in and join us at any time.
-Sundays, 9:00 am, in the Hospitality Suite.

Join a Life Group – your next step of Relationship and Growth.
We are all designed for relationship and at Eastridge, one of the key ways you have to meet some great new people and build relationships with people who share your common life stage, interest or area of need is through Life Groups, the small group ministry of Eastridge.
Here is more information on Life Groups.

Join a Ministry Team
One of the best ways to grow in your walk with Christ and to build great new friendships is to “get plugged in” to one of our ministry teams. What do you like to do?  Are you a people person and like to meet new people?  There is a place for you on one of our Guest Services teams! Do you like to cook and create a feeling of hospitality – there is a place for you on our hospitality team.  Do you love babies or children and want to help in one of these areas?  Are you handy with tools or do you like to serve seniors?  Do you have a heart for helping to feed those in need?  Do you love to sing or play an instrument, or want to learn more about drama or audio and visual technology – there is a place for you on our Worship & Arts team!  Whatever your passion, whatever your strengths, whatever your time availability – there is a ministry team for you!

What is your next step in finding out more about a ministry team?  Here is a list of each leader emails.  Simply look for an area you are interested in and send that leader an email.  They would be pleased to hear from you help you take the next step of involvement  in ministry.
