Spirit & Truth- Southside is an affiliate of the South Carolina Baptist Convention. Baptist churches, associations, and general bodies have adopted confessions of faith as a witness to the world, and as instruments of doctrinal accountability.

Spirt and Truth is a place that hosts the presence of God and proclaims the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We endeavor to see people SAVED, HEALED, DISCIPLED, and EQUIPPED to serve.
