Welcome to our services! We are so pleased that you have come to be a part of this special weekend series called “Come, Meet Our Preachers.” If this is your first time to visit Southside, please allow us to introduce ourselves and to tell you what we’re about.

We’re about the Bible. We believe that it is the inspired word of God, that every word on its pages is from the mind of God Himself. The Lord did not put man on the earth to figure everything out on his own. He revealed His will to us that we may know what He expects from us, that we may know how to please Him. “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:16-17 LBX).

All Scripture is important to us. It is what we teach in our Bible classes. It is what we preach from our pulpit. We’re about the Bible. All of it. Every word.

We’re about worship. It is the Bible that instructs man how to worship and Whom to worship. We have not come together to entertain ourselves with some concert or theatrical production. God is the center of our assembly, a service that is not just about feeling but following His will for worship. “All things must be done properly and in an orderly manner” (1 Cor. 14:40 LBX).

We’re just a group of Christians who assemble in this house of worship for the purpose of praising God. It is not our intention to impress people but to be impressed by all that He has done for us.

We’re about service. When we shake your hand and say, “Thanks for visiting with us today,” we genuinely mean that. We’re not just doing it because we feel like we have to, we see service as our privilege. It’s why we’re here. It’s how we serve the Lord. “So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith” (Gal. 6:10 LBX).

God is good to us. What better way to express that than to share it with someone else? Let us serve you today. It would be our pleasure.

We are Christians. We are unashamed to wear the name of our Lord. We are a “church of Christ,” not because we are affiliated with some denomination or creed, but because we belong to Him. Your presence here indicates your own interest in God. That’s what we’re about, too. After all, it’s all about Him.
