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.

Note: This fall (2025), all small groups will be working through Practicing the Way material focusing on the spiritual discipline of Scripture.

• Nevin & Sarah Yoder

  Tuesdays 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.

  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!
