Southside Baptist Church A History of Southside Baptist Church

The church was first established as a Mission Sunday School sponsored by Ariton Baptist Church. Julian Godwin.

At the time there was not a church on the south side of Ozark, and the Director of Missions for Dale Association, Bro. McKnight, felt that a church would prosper on that side of town. The first meeting of the Sunday School was in March of 1949, at the home of Mr. There were 58 people who were present for the first meeting. During the next few months, there were 25 more people that were baptized into the new mission under Ariton Baptist Church. On July 31, 1949, a constitutional service was held, where statements were given concerning why it was necessary that a church should be established on the south side of Ozark. After a discussion, the council approved a motion for perfecting the organization of a new Baptist Church. A motion was made and adopted to accept the letters of 37 people who were considered to be the charter members of Southside Baptist Church. There were also officers elected to carry on the business of the church. When the church was first started, services were only held on the 2nd Sunday afternoon and night of each month. The first official service after the Constitutional Service, was held on August 14, 1949.
