We announce with both gratitude and humility that Eastside Church will be closing its doors after six and a half years. Our journey together has been filled with countless moments of God’s grace, the beauty of community, and lives transformed by Jesus’ love. We have also experienced the opposition and hardship Jesus told us we would. Yet, we’ve gathered week after week seeking God together, compelled by the shared vision to see everyone in Madison and Dane County have a daily encounter with Jesus through His people – and we have seen glimpses of that vision take root.The decision to close is not an easy one, yet we sense God’s leading and know that His kingdom work in Madison continues, even beyond our walls. Eastside has always been about more than a building or a gathering – it’s about the deep, transformative work of Jesus in each of us. We’ve seen families flourish, friendships blossom, and our city changed, all because of the power of the Gospel and a community shaped by the love of Jesus.As we close this chapter, we hold fast to our hope in Jesus, knowing that His Spirit will continue to breathe life into Madison. We believe that the seeds planted through Eastside’s ministry will bear fruit in ways we may never fully see, as God weaves our story into His greater kingdom work.Thank you, faithful supporters, for being part of this journey. May our co-working for the Gospel propel you deeper into the heart of Christ and inspire you to carry His love, truth, and compassion wherever He calls you next. We are grateful for each of you and trust that God will continue His work in and through you for His glory and the renewal of all things.O may we all continuously become people who love, live like, and speak of Jesus more today than we did yesterday!With hope and gratitude - The Eastside Church Family
