Countryside Baptist Church is a member of the Southern Baptist Convention. We began as a mission in 1977, sponsored by Calvary Baptist Church of Clearwater. We moved into our present auditorium in 1981 and opened our education building in 1992. At present we average about 250 persons in the Sunday morning service, and most of those attend Sunday School in our adult or children's Sunday School divisions. Just as we sprang from mission-minded folks in another church, we promulgate the Gospel with local missions of our own.
