Being at Eastside Hatfield has genuinely changed my life. I started going to the church in my first year, and at first I was a bit shy and closed off, but the more my friends and I continued to go, the more I grew. By the time it was 2025, Eastside had become a home away from home. I have built such a strong community by being there and have spoken to many different people with different stories. Eastside has not only grown my community but also tremendously grown my relationship with God, by listening to the sermons intently and going to Life Group to continue learning about Jesus. Through that, I read my bible more, I pray more and strive to be Christ-like in every situation. So with that, Eastside has meant so much to me and my walk with Jesus.
