"Church is not just for Church people, it's for Everybody" ~ Andy Stanley
Back in 2004, a group of people living on the Southside of Atlanta wanted a relevant and irresistible church environment where they could safely bring their friends who did not go to church - a church similar to North Point Community Church (NPCC) in Alpharetta and it's campus Buckhead Church in Buckhead. They were willing to drive to Alpharetta or Buckhead to attend, but knew their un-churched friends and neighbors that lived on the Southside probably wouldn't.
In the summer of 2004, this dedicated, small group of people began meeting every other Sunday night. The leadership team of NPCC encouraged and advised this group, and in the fall of 2004 asked them to become a Strategic Partner with North Point Ministries.
This small group became Southside Church. They continued meeting in small groups until September of 2005 when worship services were launched with over 500 people attending the opening worship service.
Since that time, God has grown Southside to an average of 1200 people regularly attending Sunday mornings and has made it clear to our leadership that we need to secure permanent property and facilities to reach the estimated 100,000 un-churched people who live within a 15-mile radius of our Church. Below you can download the informational card that explains the details of our project as well as a commitment card so that you can get involved in this exciting vision. You will also find a link for Q & A as well as a couple of videos and a message from Andy Stanley when he came to speak at Southside.
