70th Birthday Celebration Today

Join us Today as we celebrate 70 years of Eastview!

We'll have our regular services at 9:00 and 11:00am with full Kids and Student programming. Our Bloomington Campus will join us at Normal, along with some of our former worship leaders.

From 10:00am–2:00pm, the party continues outside with inflatables, yard games, tents, and fun for the whole family! Bring a lunch or purchase food from the food trucks!


• Park at the high school and take the shuttle.

• Cafe 19 will serve free coffee and have donuts available (no full menu).


Instead of gifts, we’re giving back! We’re partnering with Convoy of Hope to provide Baby Care Kits for families in need. Help us reach our goal by giving $70 for 70 years—give anytime here or by going to eastview.church/give and selecting “7 Decades Offering”, or write “70th gift” on your check or envelope and drop it in the boxes on your way out.

Let’s celebrate God’s faithfulness together!

Convoy of Hope Baby Care Kit Building Event

As part of the 70th Celebration, we are partnering with Convoy of Hope to build Baby Care Kits that will be given out as part of their disaster relief program. We need help building boxes, packing boxes, and loading the pallets of completed kits. This will be a great serving opportunity for small groups, families, and Individuals.
