Our vision is to make Southside Church better, not bigger, for Jesus.
Southside Church of God seeks to create a community of authentic believers and to witness a city transformed by the life-changing reality of the gospel, as people come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Our vision is to be a lighthouse to the community of Alma, GA. To impact, encourage, train, lead, and equip our church, our community, and our city to know the Lord as their personal Savior.
