Southside Christian School Excellence in Christian Education
A discipleship school supporting Christian families by providing teaching and training in a Christian environment
...the clear mission.
Our Beginnings
In 2005, members of Southside Church of Clayton, NC, had a desire to provide a Christian education for their children. A dedicated, core group of parents was formed and the foundation was laid for Southside Christian School.
Southside Christian School hired its first teacher in the fall of 2006 and provided a solid Christian education for fourteen students in K5 and 1st grade. The following year brought 36 students in grades K5 - 5th and the staff grew to four teachers.
The Lord continued to bless the ministry the following year. 2008-2009 was a time of growth for Southside Christian School. The student body grew to 63 with classes in Pre-K4 through 6th grade. 2009-2010 brought over 100 students and a dedicated staff of qualified, degreed teachers.
The academic excellence is seen in every
class as teachers seek to challege students to reach their highest potential.
Our enrollment continued to climb for the 2010/2011 school year and out student enrollment has reached over 130 students. We added several teachers to our staff and joined ACSI.
Our Objective
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Colossians 2:2-3

Students enjoy fun songs and games in all subject areas to enhance and reinforce the concepts taught in the lesson. The learning experience for four-year-olds includes plenty of time for free play and self-expression. Although students have time sitting in their seats during the lesson (no more than 20 minutes without a break), there is plenty of student participation that allows movement appropriate for this age group.

Students continue to learn through songs, games, and activities. Although much memory work is mastered, thought and understanding of concepts is the primary goal. Students learn that God has a plan for each life, and
students are encouraged to develop Christian character. Games and hands-on manipulatives keep students involved in the lesson. Hand motions and movement are a vital part of working with this age group.

Statement of Faith Statement of FaithWe teach that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, complete, and authoritative Word of God that is sufficient for salvation and life in God.We teach from the Bible that God is a tri-unity of three persons each existing separate from each other yet unified under one godhead. He is the Creator of all things and has existed eternally without change, sovereignly controlling all things according to His purpose and will. As God, He determines all that is true and right and is in Himself all knowing, all powerful, all just, and all merciful. He is a God of wrath and of love. He alone is holy God.We teach from the Bible that each person was created for Gods glory, has rebelled against this purpose, is totally depraved in sin from the time of their conception, fails to live up to Gods righteous standard, and is rightfully subject to Gods just condemnation and wrath. Each person is helpless to alter this bleak eternal status and must rely completely upon the mercy of God to save his or her soul from damnation.We teach from the Bible that God graciously poured out mercy upon mankind by sending His Son Jesus Christ to live Gods requirement of righteousness. He willingly offered his life as a sufficient substitute sacrifice for the payment of peoples sin, was resurrected bodily from the dead, and ascended back to his Father in heaven. He will return for his church some day in the future.We teach from the Bible that each person must repent of their rebellion and sin against God and receive Jesus Christ to save and rule over their life. Having done this, they receive the Holy Spirit, they become adopted as children of God, they are counted as righteous in His sight, and their salvation is secured.We teach from the Bible that the Holy Spirit is part of the tri-unity of God and indwells the believer to mature his or her faith and to purge the mortal flesh of its sinful impulses and habits while working to convict unbelievers of their sin and future judgment by God the Father.We teach from the Bible that there is a future resurrection for all mankind. Those who have received Jesus Christ will be resurrected to eternal life and will be rewarded by him in regards to earthly service. Those who have not received Jesus Christ will be resurrected to eternal death, judged by God the Father, and sentenced to eternal damnation in the lake of fire.We teach from the Bible that the Church is comprised worldwide of all races, tribes, and tongues who profess faith in Jesus Christ. They live on earth to glorify God and to fulfill the mission of his Son to make disciples of Jesus of all nations.
