Through the messages, worship, and people here, I've grown closer to God and deepened my faith in ways I never expected. I always looked forward to attending service each weekend and serving as a Change Maker in Kidside. Being able to care for and invest in the little ones has been incredibly rewarding. Pastor Marcos has also had a huge impact on my life--his messages are inspiring, genuine, and have helped change my life for the better. Eastside is more than a church; it's a family, and I'm so grateful to be part of it.

This is a tough review to write and I wasn't sure whether I even should or not, but I'll give an…read morehonest recounting of my experience going to Eastside for the better part of a year. When my mother died in August of 2024, I found myself completely spiritually lost. I ultimately turned to Christianity to help me survive the excruciating grief, and Eastside was the first church that attracted me with its whole "it's okay not to be okay" tagline and mindset. In terms of their services: to be blunt, they are extremely impersonal. Everything's on a screen; there's no live pastor giving sermons, no live anyone doing anything except for the worship songs - otherwise just QR codes and a recording that they play on a projector. That's why I ultimately left. They have multiple branches so they just treat it as a franchise almost, and that's just not how I was necessarily raised to feel like church should be. That being said, they do offer incredible resources, several of which I took advantage of and will always be grateful for. The first was their grief group, which I attended for several months after my mother's death (after also having lost my father a few years before) and which helped me tremendously. The second was a pre-marriage course that was somewhat like couple's counseling, which I went to with my partner as we were hitting some rough spots. I will always thank Eastside for providing these specific outlets of help. I was baptized here as well on Easter of this year, and that was an extremely positive experience. Everyone rallies around for the baptisms and offers encouragement, so it was beautiful to be baptized in that type of environment with everyone around you cheering you on. If you like more traditional Christian services, which I realized that I do, this is not the church for you. But if you're a little more contemporary or you need any type of personal help, I would recommend checking out Eastside and their offerings. They have something akin to AA too that they call something else, but they're really great at offering support to the community, and I'll certainly give them credit for that. Side note, and not necessarily important at all, but their bakery has the best ham & cheese croissants I've ever had. Stop in a bit early before the service, grab one and a coffee or smoothie and mingle. There's always a large amount of people socializing before/after the services since they've got both the bakery and a basic grill with burgers, breakfast sandwiches, etc. I was always too shy to invite myself to anyone else's table, but if you're outgoing, that window of time might be a great opportunity for you to meet some friends.

On Friday, July 18, my son, Service dog, and myself came to the church to attend the services of my…read morefriend of 50 years, Mr. Edward Hood.   Upon entry to the church, a Deacon told me that they don't allow dogs in the sanctuary. I told him that she was my service animal and then I showed him credentials and then he allowed me to enter.   I took a seat in the sanctuary, and shortly after you, Rev. Owen's, interrupted the service to out me in front of the whole congregation, all of my fellow Saints, friends and the family of Mr. Hood.   Saying "The lady with the dog, you have to leave, we do not allow dogs in our sanctuary".   I was told to leave the sanctuary and go sit in the hallway.   In my 66 years of life, this was the most embarrassing, humiliating hurtful and discriminative act of my life, and for it to happen in Church, the house of the Lord, a place of love.   I hold my head down in shame for the ignorance of people who don't try to understand one another and their disabilities or life 's challenges.   Rev. Owens, trusting those who are on duty, your deacons and ushers that were at the entrance of the sanctuary, this never would have happened.   This absolutely could have been handled with decency and respect by asking your deacon or usher to confront me in private.   This episode has caused me a tremendous set back with my mental and physical health.   And a suggestion to you, moving forward being a man of God, approach situations diplomatically with love all disabilities are not visible.  Trust who you have put in charge at the door.   My service dog Zena has been trained, well-groomed and cleaner than some people.  I have invested in her so she can help me during times like Friday, July 18.   My thoughts and prayers will be with you to become more compassionate in situations like this.

Pastor Matt was so bold to take the church on a harmful, meandering road where he intermixed politics and religion, like how a lot of evangelical churches are becoming. It started when he invited Kirk Cameron in April 2024. That was a big mistake, for people who have never stepped foot in a Christian church. Kirk Cameron gave a sermon about Guthrem and the Vikings, which was so difficult to sit through considering it was a dense history lesson about the Vikings and faith, that just got lost in the sauce. Kirk Cameron is a right wing evangelical that has a bias towards promoting extreme right wing propaganda. Fast forward to September 2024, Matt started a series, "Bible and the Ballot," and as educated and open-minded that I consider myself and my husband to be, we just couldn't sit through the series. Matt was quick to demonize anyone who didn't support Trump and used the bible to justify his one-sided political stances (VERY HARMFUL). I was deeply bothered but chose to ignore it, as my children loved going to their kids Sunday school class. The straw that broke the camel's back was in June 6, 2025, the weekend that the ICE raids took place in Paramount which caused a domino effect in creating protests by surrounding communities in fighting against all the inhumane actions by ICE and the CBP. The next day at church, I was hoping for Matt to give space for people in the congregation to feel seen, loved and accepted, but instead he completely missed a perfect opportunity to offer a special prayer for all those effected by the ICE raids. Again, I was disappointed and hurt by how he selects when to speak up for causes that align with his political views. The deepest insult was when Matt equated illegal immigration to getting a DUI. He mentioned that if he broke the law in getting a DUI, he needs to pay the price, the same way that people who immigrate illegally are held to the law. Are you kidding me?!!!!!!! My husband and I decided to leave the church altogether because as a person of color, and a daughter of an immigrant, I feel that attending a church that doesn't align with my core Christian values about loving foreigners, and those who are disenfranchised is unacceptable. I don't care what political party the person next to me in church aligns with, or the Pastor identifies with, but I will ALWAYS draw the line and when cultural, racial and social injustices are overlooked. Matt does nothing to bridge the hurt, pain and division. As a pastor, leading a church should be focused on preaching about how one can grow in their faith, and be encouraged to show love & kindness towards ALL regardless of country of origin. Keep politics and division out of church at all costs!
