About Us

Since 1936, Southside has stood to be a light in the community, a place where everyone is welcomed and at home. When you arrive on our campus, it is our desire that you feel a small, close community atmosphere amidst the large, growing campus. We exist to reach our community in worship and on the web to extend the Gospel in Greenville and throughout the world. We also desire that our members be connected with a small group where they can grow and nurture each through difficult and prosperous times of life. Finally, we strive for growth in the lives of those who are a part of Southside.

Our mission is simple: REACH. CONNECT. GROW.

In February of 1936, God placed a passion on the hearts of 44 individuals for a church in this area of Greenville, and Southside Baptist Church was formed. Under the leadership of R. Z. Mullins, Southside members met in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Aldridge until July 19, 1936, when the new building was completed. God has continued to bless over the years through numerous build projects and expansion of our campus from the 150 seat auditorium to our current 700 seat Sanctuary. We are thankful for God's continued hand on us in the past and we continue to look to the future to reach our community.
