Ministries

At Bakersfield Southside, ministry is not just for the pastor — it is for every member. We believe God gave each person a unique gift on purpose, and we are committed to helping every member find where their gifts fit best. Every member a minister; every member a disciple.

We love families. Our Children and Family ministry provides age-appropriate spiritual formation for our youngest members, supporting parents in building faith at home and at church. Learn more.

Our youth and young adults are the future of Southside — and the present. This ministry is a space to ask hard questions, build real friendships, and discover your identity in Christ. Learn more.

Worship is central to who we are. Our music ministry leads our church family in heartfelt praise every Sabbath and seeks to reflect the beauty and holiness of God. Learn more.

We are for Bakersfield. Our Community Outreach ministry puts faith into action — serving our neighbors with compassion, hope, and the love of Christ. Learn more.

God gave you a gift on purpose. If you are ready to discover where you belong in ministry, talk to one of our leaders on Sabbath or reach out through our Contact page. Welcome home — there is a place for you here.
