Who we are
Our Church
Eastside United is a happy, healthy affirming ministry blessed to be in shared space with Bread of Life Lutheran and Immanuel Anglican Churches. For many years, we have enjoyed our current location on Doan Drive after serving as a Mission Congregation in east Regina.members and our city.
Our Congregation
We are a congregation of the United Church of Canada and share in the beliefs of the national church. In May 2010, we completed our Affirming Ministries process, and voted to become an Affirming Ministry: being open to our welcome to all regardless, in particular, of sexual orientation and gender identity.
WE WELCOME YOU!
Discover the Joy of Community at Eastside United Church
As an affirming ministry, we are very deliberate about making people feel welcome at Eastside – and we are thankful for the wondrous diversity of individuals and families that our congregation encompasses!
When at Eastside, you may encounter families looking to introduce their kids to Christianity and other faith traditions; young people who are actively involved in meaningful and challenging worship services; “empty nesters” who derive deep satisfaction from the personal connections they’ve formed with other Eastsiders; and seniors who are the spiritual sages forming the strong foundation underlying our church community.
We all come to Eastside from different places and for different reasons, and we are accepting of this simple fact as well. Some members of Eastside attend because they feel passionately about putting their faith into action and having a positive impact through church community projects. Others enjoy the music and worship offered on Sunday mornings. Still others relish the opportunity to challenge themselves on their faith journey in a safe and welcoming setting through the “More than Sunday” programs that Eastside offers.
We are not a “one size fits all” congregation. We welcome people at all stages of their faith journey. Tough questions are welcome too!
