Southside United Methodist Church

About this church

Southside United Methodist Church in Southside, Alabama, is a United Methodist congregation of the North Alabama Conference. Worship is held on Sundays at 10 a.m. at 2438 Cedar Bend Road North. The church describes its worship as having a consistent spirit more than a continuous style, so some Sundays are more traditional, others contemporary, and gospel music is sometimes sung. Every service includes a Bible-based sermon. The site invites people to come as they are, and it suggests sending a message on Facebook to ask about accessibility or other concerns. Church news and live-streamed services are posted on its Facebook page.

Outreach is a central part of church life. Backpack Blessings provides weekend food for students at Southside Elementary, members help the Way of the Cross soup kitchen in downtown Gadsden by preparing bagged lunches on fifth Fridays, and a homebound visitation team keeps in touch with members through visits, calls, and cards. The church also sponsors New Beginnings Academy, a child care, preschool, and school-age program open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. for children from six weeks through fifth grade. Visitors can email a pastor through the website or call 256-442-7080. Confirm current times on the website.
