Small Groups
A great way to get plugged in at Eastside Church is through small groups. We offer a variety of small groups, including families, single gender, content specific, age specific and life-stage specific groups. In our Eastside family, we share our joys, griefs, successes, challenges, calm and crazy days. We know we are meant to live and do life together. It starts here!
Find Your Small Group
We have small groups happening at different times throughout the week. Find a small group that fits your schedule and use the link to email the leader(s) of that small group for more information.
Flores & Leon
2nd Sunday of the month after first worship service; 4th Thursday of the month in the evening
Fred & Janae and Leryann & William co-lead a group focused on interracial couples and diverse families who seek to encourage each other as we live this out. We meet at a home near downtown Harrisonburg. On the second Sunday of the month, we gather for brunch and prayer after the first worship service. We meet on the fourth Thursday each month for Bible study and snack. Child care is not provided at this time.
Norm & Kathy Gerber
2nd and 4th Sundays from 12:30-2pm
Our group meets Sundays after worship, meeting at homes or the church. Everyone brings their own packed lunch. Norm leads a discussion based on the sermon scripture. Group sharing and prayer time is included as well.
Lehman & Yoder
1st Sunday of the month at 5:45pm (during Eastside Youth); 3rd Sunday of the month at 3:30pm
Welby & Lisa and Sherwin & Rachel co-lead an inter-generational group with empty-nesters and families with the majority of kids in middle and high school. The adults primarily meet together, but all kids/youth join for periodic events. We typically have a snack and fellowship, spend time in sharing and prayer, and we are currently reading and discussing the book A Praying Life. All are welcome and it's easy to join us even without reading the book!
Mitchell and Lauren Yoder
1st & 3rd Mondays from 6-7:15pm
We meet together after dinner and share a small snack together then have a short bible study together. Our group is open for anyone and includes families with children so we always try to have babysitters each week!
Nick and Erin Morgan
2nd and 4th Mondays at 6pm
Our group has singles, marrieds with young kids, married with older kids, and would love to welcome anyone who wants to deepen their relationship with God and other Eastsiders. We share dinner together, followed by sermon discussion and prayer.
Rhodes & Weaver
1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month at 6pm
We meet at a home on the west side of Harrisonburg. We have a potluck style meal and then discuss the sermon questions. On months with 5 weeks we will have a social gathering or do a service project together.
Nevin & Sarah Yoder
Wednesdays at 6:15pm
We live in Fort Defiance and host at our house. Our time together includes dinner followed by a short study and prayer. Since we have both single and married folks, we separate into groups of men and women for our study and prayer time. Children range from newborns to age 16, and the older children help out with the younger ones. All are welcome, especially if you live in the Bridgewater, southern Harrisonburg or Augusta County areas.
Jason and Samantha Ritter
Wednesdays at 6pm, twice a month
We are currently a group of families with young children but welcome all ages. We meet twice a month on Wednesdays at 6pm. Our time together includes dinner, fellowship, and prayer.
Matt & Debbie Swartley
Twice a month on a weeknight at 6pm
We are an intergenerational group that typically meets on the East side of town, in a home or park. During the winter months we often meet at church. We have a potluck meal together, Bible study and prayer. There is a wide range of kids that end up playing together and looking out for each other! We'd love to have you join us!
