About Us

Who We Are

Eastside Baptist Church is a vibrant, Bible-believing community in the heart of New Braunfels, Texas. We are a family of believers united by our love for Jesus Christ and our commitment to sharing His transforming Gospel with our neighbors and the world.

For years, our church has been a beacon of hope and grace in this community. We believe in the power of God’s Word to change lives, and we’re passionate about creating an environment where people of all ages can grow in their faith, discover their purpose, and experience the life-changing love of Christ.

What We Believe

1

The Bible

We believe the Bible is God’s inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word—the complete revelation of His will for salvation and the ultimate guide for Christian faith and living (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

2

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, the only begotten Son of God. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father (John 1:1, 14; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

3

Salvation

We believe salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Jesus declared, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6; Ephesians 2:8-9).

4

The Church

We believe the church is the body of Christ, called to worship God, make disciples, and serve others in love. Every believer is a vital part of this mission (Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Corinthians 12:27).
