Our story

Born from a simple conviction

Trueside Church was born from a simple conviction: faith should feel real, community should run deep, and following Jesus should transform how we live every single day.

We started as a group of people hungry for honest conversations about God, genuine friendships beyond Sunday mornings, and a faith that actually works in the real world. Over the years, we've grown into a vibrant community of people from all walks of life — different ages, backgrounds, stories, and journeys — all united by a desire to know God authentically and serve our city with open hearts.

We're not perfect. We're not all figured out. But we're committed to pursuing Jesus together, extending grace to one another, and living out our faith in ways that matter.

The Trueside community together
Our heart

What we believe, at the core

Five convictions shape how we gather, grow, and love our city.

Truth Matters

We anchor our faith in Scripture and aren't afraid to ask hard questions. Honest seeking is welcome here.

Community Transforms

Life change happens in circles, not rows. Real relationships, real support, real accountability — that's where growth happens.

Everyone Belongs

Brand new to faith, returning after years away, or all-in with Jesus — you have a place here. No judgment. No pretense.

Serving Shapes Us

When we use our gifts to serve God and others, we discover purpose, joy, and the life God designed for us.

God is Good

Even in hardship, confusion, and doubt, God is trustworthy. We experience His love, grace, and presence together.

Our mission

Authentic faith. Genuine community. Wholehearted devotion.

To be a community that pursues authentic faith, builds genuine community, and serves our city with wholehearted devotion to God. In practical terms, this means:

Our values

How we carry it out

Biblical Foundation

Scripture guides our teaching, beliefs, and decisions. We take God's Word seriously and apply it to real life.

Authentic Community

We show up fully — vulnerabilities, questions, and all. Real friendship happens when we're genuinely ourselves.

Wholehearted Worship

In gathered worship or daily living, we offer our whole hearts to God — creative, passionate, and genuine.

Generous Service

We serve our city, our church, and our world with open hands and open hearts. Generosity reflects our trust in God.

Inclusive Welcome

All are welcome — no matter where you're from, what you believe, or what season of life you're in. Belonging comes first.
