Welcome to Southside
Dear
Friends,
Exceeding. One of the words found in the third chapter of Paul's letter to the church in Ephesus, it is both a verb and an adjective and expresses much of what we strive to achieve at Southside Baptist Church . Because we are continually pressing towards the mark of the prize of the high calling of our Lord Jesus Christ, we desire excellence in our witnessing, singing, teaching, fellowship, preaching, and most of all, our worship.
In the world around us today, with its transitory values and crumbling morals we continue to believe that the Bible is still applicable. The expression, "ask for the Old Paths," as spoken by the prophet Jeremiah reflects our heart to live the commandments and principles of Scripture in a world where these have largely been discarded as irrelevant. It defines the essence of our desire as a church to preach Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world; to serve, in our dress, our attitudes and our entertainments as shining lights to an increasingly dark culture; to train our children and teens to lead exemplary lives as Christians; and most of all to love the Lord with all our hearts.
Every facet of our ministry is built around the theme that our Lord is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. We believe God was true to His word when He said, I change not and this has manifested itself through the preservation of His Word in the form of our King James Bible, which we use exclusively in every English service and class.
Fellowship is a vital part of our life as a church! We are intertwined by a common desire to serve the Lord. Our time together is a wonderful way to build each other up and bear one another's burdens. You will discover that Southside is a very friendly church .
One aspect of both our worship as well as our praise to our Lord is our music. Each time we meet our services include many selections, either from our hymnals or specials by the soloist or groups and our excellent choir. We are very careful to use only selections that fit a conservative, Bible-based philosophy.
We are ever mindful of the great responsibility God's people have to carry the gospel to our neighborhood, city and the world. Our missionaries carry the gospel of Jesus Christ to the four corners of the earth. They are there to establish Bible-believing independent Baptist churches. We support them through Faith Promise Missions.
