Vision

East Side desires to be a Christ centered, biblically based, Holy Spirit empowered, healthy, vibrant, and prevailing Church.

Faith Statement

As affirmed in condensations such as "The Apostles Creed", the Church of God holds to the teachings of historical Christianity:

• The Trinity.

• The Bible as God's written word, only rule of faith and practice.

• The Birth, Life, Death, Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Christ as recorded in the New Testament.

• Salvation by faith in Jesus and His atoning death on the cross.

• The gift of the Holy Spirit to those who receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour.

• The return of Christ at the close of the age.

• Judgment and Eternal rewards, heaven and hell.

Christians may hold varying opinions on secondary or peripheral doctrine.

Within the Church of God there is no insistence that everyone conform their ideas on

minute points.

Allowing people with honest hearts and minds to search the Scripture's leads, with the

Holy Spirit's help, to an amazing consensus.

We have shied away from the drafting of an official statement of beliefs.

The Movement has preferred to confine itself to the spirit-inspired Scripture, treating our own interpretations of it with humility and those of others who differ with charity.
