About · Brookside Church of God
A small Pentecostal congregation on Cardiff Street in Brookside, Alabama, working through the Bible a passage at a time. Come as you are, sit where you like, leave knowing what the text said.
What we believe
We welcome people from all denominations.
First and foremost, the Church of God is a determinedly Christian church. It is built upon the person of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the doctrines and practices of the church are based upon His teachings.
Founded upon the principles of Protestantism, though not a traditional follower of any one leader of the Reformation. We stand firmly for justification by faith, the priesthood of believers, the authority of the Bible, religious freedom, and the separation of church and state.
The Church of God subscribes to five foundational Christian doctrines.
Evangelical describes those who affirm the primary doctrines revealed in the Scriptures: the inspiration and authority of the Word of God, the Trinity, the deity and virgin birth of Jesus Christ, salvation by faith in the atoning death of Christ, His bodily resurrection and ascension, the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the second coming of Christ, and the spiritual unity of believers.
Why we are here
To preach and support the Gospel of Jesus Christ both locally and abroad, opening the door for lives to be changed and transformed through the power of Jesus Christ.
Who leads
Senior Pastor
Brad and his wife, Marcie, joined Brookside Church of God in 1999, and have seen God’s hand move sovereignly through their lives and the church in the years since. He has traveled nationally and internationally in missions work. Brad and Marcie have two sons, Caleb and Cole.
Teaching Pastor
Daniel was licensed in 1996 and ordained into the ministry in 1999. A self-proclaimed Bible nerd and treasure hunter, his greatest joy is digging into the Word, turning up the gold in it, and handing it to the church. He and his wife, Patti, have one son.
Worship Pastor
Caleb leads the church into the presence of God through authentic worship, and counts it a privilege to use what God has given him to advance the Gospel from week to week. He and his family are part of the life of the church.
Hear it for yourself
The clearest picture of a church is what it preaches week after week. All of it is free, and none of it is edited down.
