What does Eastside Presbyterian Church value? At the core, all of our values revolve around helping on another follow Jesus in our church, community, and world. It’s not easy to get involved in each others lives, to enter into the mess in order to move and progress forward in our journeys of following Jesus. But we’re here to help one another, because that’s what Christ has called us to do, and that’s why we enter into community with one another through church and beyond. In doing so, our church seeks to reflect seven values: Worship, Discipleship, Rest, Diversity, Mission, Beauty, and Generosity.
