About Us
We are a thriving community of Jesus followers that unchurched people find irresistible.
Lead Pastor Tim Stanek
Tim Stanek is the lead minister at Southside Christian Church.
Our Vision
Thriving – Thriving means we are not content to simply survive. Our goal isn’t to be a church that merely has service every week and pays the bills. No, far from it! We want to be a church that is alive, active, moving, and growing! We are a people who are passionate and all-in on pursuing Jesus!
Community of Jesus Followers – Our core identity is found in the fact that we all are followers of Jesus. So we will do the things that the first communities of Jesus followers did in the NT. We will meet together for teaching and fellowship and prayer. We will be characterized by unity and love.
Unchurched People – There is a large percentage of our population who have had nothing to do with the church or have had experiences with the church in the past and have since rejected it. Our goal is to engage or re-engage those who have long since rejected Christianity.
Find Irresistible – We know that the sentiment of those outside the church toward religion is negative. It is our hope that our community, our love, and the way in which we “do church” are too attractive and tempting to be resisted.
Our Mission
