About our church:

Eastside Baptist Church is a small, conservative Southern Baptist Church that began in 1937 in Grady County, Georgia. Ephesians 2:8-10 best summarizes our core beliefs: “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” We have one worship service on Sunday mornings that features a blend of traditional hymns and contemporary music that express Biblical doctrine. Our church is strongly committed to supporting local, national, and international missions.
