Who we are
Eastern Avenue Church is a community of people trying to follow Jesus in real, everyday life. We care about our world, our neighborhood, and about one another. We believe faith should make a difference in all these places. Our congregation includes people of all ages and backgrounds, creating a community where everyone can find a place to belong, worship God,, and serve in meaningful ways.

Our beliefs
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, our only infallible rule for faith and life. We are committed to reforming ourselves according to its truth and authority. As a progressive church, we’re strongly committed to moving ahead with God’s mission to the world; as a traditional church, we hold firmly to Biblical truth as summarized in the historic Reformed creeds.
Every one is welcome here. Whatever your age, sex, race, abilities, economic status, sexual orientation, or gender identity, you are invited to participate fully in our Jesus-following community of faith. God loves you!
Worship is the fuel for discipleship. We are called to eat, drink, speak, think and work to the glory of God. We worship God by remembering the gospel through preaching, teaching, singing, praying and celebrating baptism and communion.
Find your faith
The church's one foundation is Jesus Christ our Lord. What is built on top of that foundation are the relationships and connections of God's people who have chosen to take a faith journey together. True connections require us to be faithful to each other and to God, and when we care for one another, our work as a church is a joy.
