Youth Pastor
Chuck and Emily Pausley
Pastor Chuck started his ministry at Southside in  2002.
He was saved as a teenager, and because of that - has a strong desire to see youth come to know God as Lord and Savior of their lives.
He also loves seeing youth come to the realization that Jesus and His Word are the only things that satisfy and are the sole authority in their lives.  He also admits that he is just a "Big Kid" at heart and loves spending time hanging out and goofing off with students.
He also adores the "love of his life" Emily and is ecstatic about her love for him, God, and ministry.  They both graduated from Baptist Bible College in Clarks Summit, PA, and they are huge Ohio State Buckeye fans!  Go Bucks!
