From its inception, East Side Grace Brethren Church has been committed to the Bible as God's word to us. From our very first worship service, the Bible has been central to our worship and church life. East Side has also been committed to missions from her beginning. From our first missionaries who served in Indonesia, we now support missionaries in England, Central African Republic, Argentina, Turkey, Ukraine, Macedonia, and in the United States. We planted a new church in the Short North area of Columbus, Ohio in 2000.

We believe our best days are ahead of us. A new generation of Christians is emerging in our church who, like the founders of our church, desire to see God honored in the ministry of our church. We are in the process of strategizing for a second Columbus church plant. Our dream is to see more churches planted in our metro area. We also dream of sending out missionaries who were raised up to be leaders in our church. Our desire is to see churches multiplied in Columbus and in other parts of the world.
