Southside Bible Chapel
A Center for Fellowship and Worship
“And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship,
in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.” Acts 2:42
Who are we?
Southside Bible Chapel is a non-denominational congregation of Christians who meet weekly for worship, prayer, fellowship and verse-by-verse teaching of God’s Word. We seek to glorify God by sharing the Good News of salvation through faith in Christ alone, by making Christ-following disciples and by training the next generation of Christian leaders, both locally and worldwide.
What do we believe?
At Southside Bible Chapel, we hold to the historic doctrines of the Christian faith. We believe:
The Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God, revealing the ruin of the human race by our sin and our redemption through the atoning death of the Lord Jesus Christ.
(2 Tim. 3:16; Rom 3:23; 5:8)
In the Triune God of the Bible, the Creator of all things, One God in 3 Co-Equal and Co-Eternal Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
(Matt. 28:19; John 1:1-3; Acts 5:3-4; 2 Cor. 13:14)
In the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, substitutionary death for the sins of all people and His bodily resurrection.
(1 Cor. 15:3-4; Matt. 1:21-23; 2 Cor. 5:21)
In the forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus Christ, and that all who receive Christ through believing have eternal life, are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, and become members of His Church.
(Rom. 3:24; 5:5; 1 Cor. 12:13)
The Church is the dwelling of God through the Holy Spirit, and that its members should gather together locally for the purpose of worship, prayer, fellowship, and teaching of the Word of God, recognizing the unity of the one body, the Lordship of Christ and the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
(1 Cor. 3:16; Acts 2:42)
In the imminent, pre-tribulational return of our Lord in the air for His saints, the personal, visible, bodily return of the Lord
Jesus Christ to the earth and the final judgment of people before God.
(1 Cor. 15:51-52; 1 Thess. 1:10; 4:16-17; 5;1-4; Rev. 20:12)
