Historical Ministry to Students
Through the years, many Christian students have made East Side Baptist Church their spiritual "home away from home!" Located just three blocks south of the UWM Student Union, our Church is readily accessible to many of the nearby students. For 50 years, East Side has had a rich heritage of faithfully sharing Christ and God Word with the local student population.We are on call day and night to help with your spiritual needs!

A Real Church Family
Many students are away from home, but want to maintain the closeness of real & intimate relationships. Even if you have just longed for the closeness of real loving family, East Side is here for you. The Bible teaches that we come realize the genuine love of God as our heavenly Father when we are at a loss for human parental figures (Psalms 27:10). Many young adults have grown up never having had a genuinely close family. At East Side you are not just a number, but a real member of an intimate Church family!

Friendship with Real Christians
We have ALL experienced it, but God clearly warns of it... being inundated with wrong companions destroys solid, godly character (2 Corinthians 6:14)
Christians NEED Christian friends! And even non-Christians are invited to come and learn what is it to have genuine Christian friend.Our little Church has been blessed with young adults who are serving the Lord Jesus Christ! When Christ's love is apparent, there is a caring for one other that goes far beyond that of a social club or mere acquaintances.

Grounded in God's Word
For 50 years ESBC has been preaching the Word of God, the Holy Bible. We are not ashamed of continuing to use the KJV Bible, and singing the traditional songs of the faith. God regularly meets with us in our worship services. While many have "itching ears" to find and provide what the general population wants, we are soundly and biblically preaching what the Lord says that we need! "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and in truth." John 4:24 the only way to come to God is by faith in the Truth (John 14:6). We preach and teach what God says. We are, "...not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;"

Teaching Redemption AND Salvation
Redemption is a one-time transaction between you and God. God offers you forgiveness and pardon for all your sins against Himself. We accept this offer of cleansing and forgiveness through trusting in the price Jesus Christ, His Son, paid on the cross FOR our sins. The moment one truly believes in Jesus Christ, he or she is immediately justified (made righteous) before God. Redemption is specifically the first aspect of Salvation. This is what the Bible refers to as being "Born Again." Have you been Born Again?
