WE BeliEve

Southside Christian Church’s Core Beliefs Are:

... That Jesus is the one and only Son of God who died for our sins and arose from the dead. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)

… The Bible is the inspired Word of God that serves as a lamp for our feet, and a light for our path. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

… That every person has worth as a creation of God, yet all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. (Romans 3:21-26)

… That forgiveness of sin and the promise of eternal life are available to those who trust Christ as Savior and Lord. (John 3:1-19)

… That those accepting Christ are to repent of sin, confess their faith, and be immersed into Him for the forgiveness of sins and the receiving of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 5:12-6:12, 10:4-14; Acts 2:14-41)


... The church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit to reach the lost, and equip and instruct the saved. (Ephesians 4:1-16)

… We are to prepare ourselves, and encourage one another for Jesus Christ’s eventual return, where upon this world will be destroyed and a new heaven and earth will be established, with Jesus reigning forever as King of kings and Lord of lords. (1Thessalonians 4:13-5:11, Revelation 21:1-22:21) 


Unity, freedom, and love are essential to work towards, requiring ongoing effort. The challenge is distinguishing the essentials and nonessentials, and then extending love and grace toward those who disagree with us. Love must always win out. 

The Cross of Christ Makes you Somebody Special.
