About Southside

Here at Southside we believe that Jesus Christ is the answer to all and that having a relationship with Him is the single most important relationship a person will ever have in their lifetime. We know that Jesus loves us and offers to us real hope and new life to any and all that call on His name.

Southside Baptist Church is a traditional, fundamental, conservative, Southern Baptist church and has been a part of the Palatka area for over 70 years. Our Senior Pastor Shaun Thomas has a vision for Southside to reach into the Palatka community and see souls won for the cause of Christ. We proclaim the whole Gospel of Jesus Christ, and provide a preaching and pastoral ministry designed to meet your needs.
