A Gospel-Centered family on mission together…

…multiplying and sending from our neighborhood to the nations.

Pastor for Preaching and Vision - Brandon Sams

In 2024, Brandon with his wife Melissa and two teenagers, Mason and Bayly, left their home in North Carolina to begin ministry in the Southern Peninsula of Baltimore. Before ministry, Brandon was a 20 year career firefighter in NC. He was burdened with a desire to see the Kingdom grow in Baltimore - a place with a rich church history, but fading church presence.

In September of this year, Brandon will lead Southside Community Church (or SoCo for short) to worship Jesus and leverage their lives to engage all people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Mission Partners

Southside couldn’t do what it does without the care & support of our mission partners. We stand side-by-side with them as God’s Kingdom continues to grow.
