About – Southside Church

Global heart. Local heartbeat.

A church for the nations, Southside Church is founded upon the multicultural nature of God’s creation. We love people!

God's word is alive!

The Bible contains it! We are separated from God by sin. By our own efforts, we can’t bridge the gap. Only Jesus, who is both God and Man, was able to be our sinless substitute at the Cross, paying the price for our sin, bridging the gap of separation between us and God.

Jesus welcomes whoever comes to Him and offers them a new life that will never end. We each need to confess our sin to God, ask His forgiveness, turn from all sin and ask Jesus to become our personal Lord and Saviour. This is the beginning of a new life as a child of God. The Bible says “if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation, the old has passed away, the new has come”.
