Eastside on Mission

We believe the Gospel is the most powerful force in the world, and it was never meant to stay inside our walls. Right here in Central Kentucky, we're joining God's work to bring light into dark places: loving our neighbors, serving the vulnerable, and planting seeds of hope in our own communities. And because the Great Commission has no borders, we're also partnering with missionaries and church planters around the globe to see lives transformed by the grace of Jesus. Whether it's across the street or across the ocean, we're committed to pushing back darkness — one story, one relationship, one community at a time.

Local Partners

We partner with  Affirm throughout the year and largely during their Baby Bottle Blessings program, where our church donates money in baby bottles to help support their local mission.

God's Outreach Food Pantry

We don't want anyone in our town to go hungry. For over ten years, we've hosted the Tracks for Packs 5K benefitting the Madison and Estill County Backpack Program. Since 2020, we've hosted an annual Food Drive to support the increased demand the food pantry experiences during the holiday season, bringing in roughly $30,000 worth of meals each year.

Night to Shine

Since 2023, we've partnered with the Tim Tebow Foundation to host a prom-like night for adults with special needs in our community. We welcome more than 115 honored guests every year. Each guest is crowned as a king or queen - just how they are viewed in the eyes of the Lord.
