History:

In the early months of 1998, the Lord laid upon the hearts of several families the desire to further His kingdom through the ministry of a new fellowship in south Denver. Under the leadership of Pastor Ken Murphy, these families began meeting together for prayer and planning, seeking the Lord's direction for a new church. This planting activity had been a long term goal of Pastor Murphy and the sending church.

In October of 1998 Southside Bible Church began meeting in a hotel conference room for worship and proclamation of the Word of God. Three months later the fellowship relocated to a more permanent location in Highlands Ranch. The church currently gathers at Summit View Elementary School for Sunday morning services, and in homes around the community for mid-week Bible study. Late this summer (2005) we will be moving to a permanent building which the Lord has so graciously provided to the congregation.

Ministries of the church have been developed in a measured way, beginning with foundational ministries in teaching and then have expanded to encompass fellowship, prison, nursing home, children, and other areas of service.

We have had on-going support to overseas mission activities over the years and have been led recently (2004) to engage more directly in the Caribbean. God is opening doors in this region and we are walking through them as He so leads us.

The church has continued to grow spiritually and numerically during this time. We wait on what the Lord has for us in the coming years.
