Website Countryside Christin Church

Countryside Christian Church is a Bible-based, nondenominational Christian church located between Nixa and Ozark in suburban southwest Missouri. The congregation draws families and individuals from across Christian County and surrounding communities.

Average Sunday attendance is approximately 225-250, with roughly 400 members and regular attenders. The church offers two identical Sunday worship services at 8:30 and 10:45 a.m., with Bible classes at 9:45 a.m. Weekly observance of the Lord's Supper is an important part of congregational worship.

Countryside is debt-free and financially stable. The church recently completed a building addition and remodeling project funded entirely without borrowing, with further improvements planned to support its ministries and community outreach.

The area provides opportunities to enjoy the Ozarks' outdoor recreation and the attractions of Springfield and Branson. Continued growth in Nixa, Ozark, and surrounding communities creates meaningful opportunities for the church to welcome new families, develop relationships, and expand its ministry.
