The values of a church shape what - and who - it is. Southside has 10 core values that are highlighted here, along with the biblical reasoning for each value.
We believe that the Bible is true and that its teaching is the catalyst for life-change in individual's lives and in the church. (Romans 12:7; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; James 1:23-25; Hebrews 4:12; Acts 2:42; 20:32) |

We believe that lost people matter to God, and therefore they ought to matter to the church. (Luke 5:30-32; Luke 15; Matthew 18:14)
We believe that the church should be culturally relevant while remaining doctrinally pure. (1 Corinthians 9:19-23)
We believe that followers of Christ should manifest authenticity and strive for continuous spiritual growth. (Matthew 26:38ff; Ephesians 4:25-26 and 32; Philippians 1:6; Romans 8:29; Hebrews 12:1; 1 Corinthians 3:1-3)
We believe that the church should operate as a unified community of servants stewarding their spiritual gifts. (Romans 12; Ephesians 4; John 13; Philippians 2; 1 Corinthians 12 and 14)
We believe that loving relationships should permeate every aspect of church life. (1 Corinthians 13; Nehemiah 3; Luke 10:1; John 12:34-35)
We believe that life-change happens best through relationships. (Luke 6:12-13; Acts 2:44-47)
We believe that excellence honors God and inspires people. (Colossians 3:17; Malachi 1:6-14; Proverbs 27:17)
We believe that churches should be led by those with leadership gifts, and structured according to the nature and mission of the church. (Nehemiah 1 & 2; Romans 12:8; 1 Timothy 3; 1 Peter 5; Ephesians 4; Acts 6:2-5)
We believe that the pursuit of full devotion to Christ and His cause is normal for every Believer. (1 Kings 11:4; Philippians 2:1-11; 2 Corinthians 8:7)
