At Southside, we believe...

in the Good News of Jesus Christ. The good news is a holy and blameless God looked upon a sinful mankind with grace and mercy. He sent His perfect, sinless son, Jesus, from heaven to earth to die on the cross as a payment for our sins. We believe that God offers eternal salvation to every person through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to be in relationship with God the Father, and He is the only way to live forever in Heaven.
