Welcome
A Safe Place To Belong And Recharge
3221 S.W. Burlingame Rd. Topeka, KS
Sundays 8:30 - 9:45 - 11:00
Countryside Kids
A place where children discover God’s love through laughter, learning, and friendship. Each Sunday, kids explore Bible stories, enjoy music and activities, and grow in faith in a safe, caring environment designed just for them.
YG - Youth Group
Teens in grades 6–12 find purpose, belonging, and fun at YG. Through worship, service projects, and real conversations, youth build lasting friendships and deepen their relationship with Christ while making a difference in their world.
Small Groups
Life is better together. Our Small Groups are where faith becomes real—sharing stories, studying God’s Word, and supporting one another through life’s ups and downs. Find your group and connect in genuine community.
COUNTRYSIDE is more than a place to attend on Sundays. This is a place to belong.
Sometimes life can feel overwhelming — busy schedules, endless to‑do lists, and not enough time to breathe.
At Countryside, we believe church should be the place where you can pause, reconnect, and find meaning again.
Here, you’ll find a safe place to belong and recharge — a community where your children laugh and learn about God’s love, where youth find purpose and friends that last, and where adults can grow in faith and serve with joy.
Whether you’ve gone to church forever or are just exploring what faith could look like for your family, you’re welcome here.
We’d love for you to come and see for yourself why Countryside is the church you’ve been looking for.
Get Connected
Whether you’re new to the Topeka area or a long-time attendee, we want you to get connected! Our church is a vibrant community where individuals from all walks of life come together to love God, love others, and tell everyone.

Reconciling Ministries
We celebrate God’s gift of diversity and value the wholeness made possible in community equally shared and shepherded by all. We welcome and affirm people of every gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, who are also of every age, race, ethnicity, physical and mental ability, level of education, and family structure, and of every economic, immigration, marital, and social status, and so much more. We acknowledge that we live in a world of profound social, economic and political inequities. As followers of Jesus, we commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice and pledge to stand in solidarity with all who are marginalized and oppressed.

Faith is best lived in connection. From small groups and Bible studies to youth activities and mission projects, Countryside offers spaces where you can build genuine relationships, explore your faith, and make a difference in the world.
