Please allow us to welcome you to what we believe is one of the finest churches in Lakeland; it is certainly becoming one of the most exciting! Once you walk through the front doors we hope that you notice a sincere effort on our part to make you feel welcome. Hopefully you noticed a variety of age groups and ethnic groups being represented. We desire to truly be a "whosoever" church (Jn. 3:16). We are eager to have you feel at home and loved here at Southside.

     Once you experience one of our services, we hope that you will appreciate our worship which strives to present the gospel in a simple but dynamic manner and to minister to a variety of generational needs.  Our music program is multifaceted in its scope as we sincerely appreciate all forms of music and drama expression which exalts the name of Christ.

     The love and care of your children and grandchildren is also a top priority to us. An age specific ministry schedule exists for all ages from birth to twelve years of age. We sincerely pray and strive to make sure your children enjoy church and encounter God.

     Above all, we pray that you feel the presence of the Holy Spirit moving in the service. Much prayer goes into the weekly planning and preparation of each service.  We desire everyone who worships to Experience Life because we know that form without divine power is dry and meaningless.

     Testimonies of divine healing are common in our services.  We are seeing believers filled with the Holy Spirit and we are seeing and praying daily for the un-churched to be saved.  We are seeking to build bridges into our community to see those without Christ come to know Christ. We hope your visit will become habit-forming, and that you will desire to make Southside Assembly your weekly place of worship.
