Missions
As a church we like to put our money where our mouth is. Over the past 5 years we have seen over $1.5mil distributed to support 11 Eastside families and many indigenous workers and churches in 5 nations. Our focus is the planting of churches and the training and coaching of church planters. We believe this to be the best long term strategy for reaching the nations for Christ.

Faith Commitments
Each May we raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for Vision Reach (missions) through Faith Commitments. We make pledges in May and we give it throughout the year, until the following May. Vision Reach is a strong part of the heart of Eastside and our giving shows that!
