Our Story

Eastside began as a church plant with a simple goal – to reach the Eastside of Rochester and beyond with the unfailing love of Jesus. On March 4, 2012, that dream became an awesome reality when Eastside launched its first service in Victor, NY at the Casa Larga Vineyards.  

In 2017, after six years of tremendous fruitfulness and growth, it was time to find a new location where Eastside could continue living out God’s Dream for us. That’s when God led Eastside to our current location at 1350 Fairport Road, where we continue to make All-In Followers of Jesus! 

At Eastside Church, we have strived to create an enjoyable and welcoming environment where people can find a transforming relationship with God and genuine relationships with one another. Our vision is to be a place without barriers or boundaries; a place that will love everyone and serve anyone; a place you can call home!
 
We invite you to see for yourself how exciting church can be when the focus is simple and people are free to go after God with purpose and  passion...fulfilling their destiny!

The Pandemic of 2020 abruptly launched us into the Virtual world, where we quickly added Live-Streaming and Zoom Meetings to keep our Family connected while insuring safety. This new way of life as a church will continue, even as we encourage and welcome the return to our in-person relationship connections.

Our focus is to reach the next generation for Christ. Though technology changes, how we communicate and how we spend our time changes, God's heart remains steadfast about wanting a relationship with the people He created.

Young people of today are less likely to have grown up in the Church, or to blindly follow their parents' religious traditions. We want to create an environment where the next generation can explore Jesus and develop their own life-changing relationships with God and neighbor.
 
These are the people who will express God's love to their peers, and to their kids, and their kids' kids.
