If it's your first visit then it's probably best to turn up around 10.45 am. for our morning worship. As you enter the sanctuary
( photo above ) you are welcome to sit where you wish. The two doors on either side at the front of the sanctuary lead to the handicap restrooms in hallway. See the map for details. If you are driving there is plenty of parking. You will be pleased to know we have a Childrens Sunday School Van Ministry and you may arrange for possible transportation. For directions to Southside Baptist please see the Directions page. You'll be warmly greeted in the door by our ushers who will give you a weekly bulletin with todays services.

What to wear

This is easy. Wear whatever you feel comfortable in. We are an informal church and accept people as they are. There is no need to dress up to try and be someone that you're not. Whether you are a suited business man or a blue jeans teen that's fine with us.

What to expect

For some people going anywhere for the first time can be a bit of a nerve-racking experience. To help avoid any worries here's a quick summary of what you can expect at Southside.

We all had a 'first day' at a new church. You'll find we are a friendly bunch, and truly are glad you have chosen to worship with us. If you have any questions simply ask.

We start our Sunday Services with announcements and singing. Our worship time consists of traditional and modern songs Everyone participates in the worship but afterwards the kids can go to their own groups. We also have a nursery for the little ones and Childrens Church for the older children. We then have the sermon that is relevant and meaningful to our modern lives delivered from our pastor Bro. Doug McClain.

Our aim is that whether you are just looking into Christianity for the first time or have been a Christian for many years, that you should be encouraged and inspired by the morning services.

What we believe

We are a Christian church and what we believe is that the Bible is the inspired and error-free Word of God. We believe this relationship with God is possible because of Jesus (God's only son) who invites us to follow him. We have friendly relationships with other local churches from both traditional and modern backgrounds. If you are interested in discovering faith then please come and join us Sunday.

Is it just Sundays?

Absolutely not! God is with us all week long and we aim to lead lives pleasing to him. We're not perfect and we do make mistakes, but we desire to make a positive difference in everything we do. Following our services on Sunday Morning , we gather for evening worship of singing and a message from our pastor. To further encourage us we have Wednesday night services which includes prayer request and updates. Followed by a sermon from our pastor.

We aim to be an all inclusive church. Our premises are accessible for those with disabilites.

pew provisions for wheel chairs. Both the ladies and mens restrooms down the hall
behind the sanctuary are wheel chair accessible.
