About Us

Southside Christian church was brought to life by a fellowship of Christians on March 30, 1958, to serve the community here in the southern portion of Columbus.


It is not the intent of Southside Christian Church to establish another church denomination to the list of so many already in existence.


The scriptures declare that a divided church is contrary to the teachings of Christ and his apostles (See John 17:21, I Corinthians 1:11). 

The world will struggle in discovering Jesus Christ if there is an overwhelming flow of sectarian catch phrases overshadowing the truths found in scripture, and keeping the universal church divided.


The prayer of Jesus, as recorded in John chapter 17, along with the apostle's teachings, demand the laying aside of the teachings of men; and return to the pattern of New Testament Christianity, as practiced in the days of Christ's apostles.

Our desire and objectives are quite simple:

1. We seek the restoration of basic Christianity. and ultimately the union of al followers of Christ into one body (John 17:21).

2. We desire the exaltation of Jesus Christ above party, peer pressure, or the status quo. The Word of God shall be our guide above all human creeds.

3. We are pursuing the building of Christ's church without denominational name, man-written creed, or any other limiting factor to Christian unity. The church’s terms of fellowship are identical to the conditions of salvation a s prescribed in the New Testament only.

4. We lead sinners to Jesus' gift of salvation in the clear light of His teachings in the New Testament.


In areas of concern not defined, or prescribed to, in the scriptures we practice liberty; in those areas prescribed and defined as essential, we appeal to God's Word as the ultimate authority. "Where the Bible speaks, we speak, where the Bible is silent, we are silent" is an appropriate assessment of our practice.

The Cross of Christ Makes you Somebody Special.
