Preaching

"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." 1 Corinthians 1:18

Preaching is primary at Southside Baptist Church. Sunday Morning, Sunday Night Wednesday Night, Revival Services or Missions Conference, you will hear a Biblically-based message that expounds the Scripture and challenges the listener. Pastor Walters, of course, is our primary preacher, but we are blessed to be able to hear men of God from around the country and from our own congregation on a regular basis.

Youth Ministry

Southside is an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church that believes a solid youth ministry should not be built around people and personalities, but around the "Eternal Word of God". Our focus is to train today's youth to be tomorrow's leaders. One of the most exciting aspects of our teen ministry is "one on one" personal soul winning. Another is our active schedule. We believe that having our youth together on a regular basis helps them build "real" friendships that last a lifetime and encourages them to stand strong when confronted with the things of this world. Each year our group has the chance to participate in camps, conferences, mission trips, and many other ministerial functions. Our philosophy is simple; God said it, that settles it. Remember that Jesus loves you enough to die for you and to take away your sin. Are you willing to give up your life of sin and allow him to give you eternal life? Only you can make that decision.

Radio Ministry

In December of 2004, the Lord gave us a new ministry. WRHJ is a low-power FM radio station that reaches Rock Hill 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We praise the Lord for this exciting outreach which allows us to share the gospel with our community as well as enjoy music and preaching that encourages believers throughout the week.

Nearly all of our programming comes from the Fundamental Broadcasting Network, which provides an excellent balance of Christ-honoring music and soul-stirring preaching all day and all night. Pastor Walters also has a morning broadcast that you can also hear online.

The Staple Club

Although they are - and have been - a "staple" at Southside Baptist Church for many years, our Seniors group has aquired the name "The Staple Club" as a result of their weekly gathering around the collating, stapling and cutting machines in our literature ministry. These faithful servants of the Lord enjoy a time of fellowship as they prepare gospel literature to be used around the world.

Each Sunday Morning they meet in the Neal Daniel Bible Study Class for Sunday School, taught by Pastor Walters. In addition, they enjoy regular fellowships, trips and special meals together. We thank the Lord for their wisdom, influence and example to the rest of the congregation.

Deaf Ministry

Mrs. Christine Walters, our pastor's wife, began the deaf ministry at Southside many years ago. The deaf enjoy their own Sunday School Classes and Wednesday night Bible Studies. All of our Sunday Services are interpreted for the hearing impaired. Regular activities for the deaf provide great opportunities for fellowship and new experiences.

The Deaf ministry also provides a place of service for many hearing members at Southside. Mrs. Walters teaches a basic sign language class which provides the first step for those who are interested in working with the deaf.

Patch the Pirate Club

Boys and girls learn how to build Christian character every Wednesday night. This musical based children's ministry will help your child memorize scripture and develop godly habits.
