Each church does things a little differently.

Here are some answers to common questions people ask when considering a visit to East River.

What do I wear?
What do I wear?

You’re welcomed to come as you are, whether it’s a suit or shorts. Whatever you feel most comfortable wearing. There is some of both most Sundays.

What do my children do?
What do my children do?

We love having children in our worship services. A church with the squeaks, coos, and shifting of children is a church with a bright future.

What is the service like?
What is the service like?

We aim for our worship services to be reverent, joyful, and accessible to the everyday Christian. We sing hymns, songs, and psalms in familiar styles. We listen to the word preached passage by passage with an eye towards practical application. The goal above all is to give glory and honor to our Almighty God!

Our services are usually about 75 minutes long. We start at 10:30 am and end just before noon.
