We are not just a church in Bakersfield — we are a church for Bakersfield. Community outreach is at the heart of who we are. Through service, compassion, and the everlasting Gospel, Southside reaches beyond our walls to bring hope and healing to our neighbors.
How We Serve
Our outreach efforts are grounded in our core value of Community Impact. Whether through food drives, health initiatives, or neighborhood connections, we believe every act of service reflects the character of Christ. Every member is a minister — and ministry happens in Bakersfield every day.
