Southside is a body of believers on a journey. Our beginnings were humble when in 1939, a handful of men, women and children stepped out in faith. Their spiritual pilgrimage continues today in a transitional, ever-changing city with a diversity of lives captivated by the love of Jesus Christ for a hurting world.
