In 1917, a small group of believers started a Sunday Bible School class on Signal Mountain. Through the faithful planting and watering of the gospel, God grew this small group into a church that formed Wayside Presbyterian Church. For the sake of the gospel, their small group banded together, committed to the work of God. Through sacrifices of time, resources, and even stone from members’ property, the current sanctuary opened for worship in 1947 with the ability to seat about 130 individuals. In the decades that followed, Wayside continued by God's grace in its mission, trusting God to give the increase. God has answered the prayers of previous generations giving increase in these present days.

Over the last 10 years, God has directed new families to Wayside Presbyterian Church with membership growing over 170%. From 98 members in 2012, to 176 in 2016, and now with over 275 members and their children, we are not able to worship together in one service or in one space. Yet, even with this increase, our mission remains the same, to steward God’s flock faithfully as one body as we are indeed one church family

Our goal is to continue the vision and mission that our Wayside forefathers and mothers left us by providing a legacy for generations to come so that they too can worship God and water the gospel together in faith, hope, and love. Would you consider investing not only for our generation, but for generations to come?
