LIFE Groups provide the framework that enables people to 
do life together.

What does it mean to “do life together?”

This idea goes far beyond simply hanging out on occasion, touching base every once in a while, or having some shared interests.  When we talk about doing life together, we mean exactly that. It’s about weaving your life  together with the lives of other people with whom you have a deeper and more trusting relationship. It means raising families together, celebrating victories, mourning losses, struggling, thriving, persevering through all of the good and bad that life has to offer us.

Life is better when we do it together.

This is our hope for LIFE Groups, that as people begin to develop and cultivate relationships, that every person at Eastside can truly Find Their Few. This is where REAL relationships form. It goes far beyond you just hanging out once a week and swapping casserole recipes. This is the space where people move from being casual friends to truly being real family.
