Where Can I Serve?
Jesus told us, his disciples, to make disciples of all nations. One of the most important values of Southside is our mission to the world. It begins in our own community, and spreads overseas to every nation. Southside members are involved in a variety of ministries from things as simple as washing the church vehicles, to preparing the church bulletins.
Mission Outreach
Southside is thrilled to be part of the spread of God’s kingdom around the world. We are active in sending missionaries and supporting these missionaries with our money and with our prayers. We encourage all of our people to respond to God’s call for laborers, whether it means that they move to a foreign country or live and minister in our own community.
Music & Drama
God-honoring worship is something we strive for. Many church members get involved in our music and drama ministry. Some play their instruments. Some are vocalists. Others are involved in the Praise Team. Still others get involved in drama. These volunteers are an important part of the ministry of Southside, using their talents and gifts to glorify God.
Media & Technology
Using media to spread the gospel is a privilege of Southside. In an age of widespread technology, we have a stewardship to use these tools as best as possible for kingdom purposes. All of our weekly sermons are uploaded to our website in video and audio formats. We also maintain an active Facebook and feed for additional church communication.
Prayer Warriors
Prayer cannot be overestimated. Prayer moves the hand of God. Southside is a body of believers dependent upon prayer, and committed to God’s sovereignty. Each Sunday, during the morning service, a team of volunteers is praying for the ministry of the Word. Throughout the week, volunteers to our Prayer Warriors team, pray for their pastor, a list of church members, any special requests, and missionary prayer needs. Each Wednesday, the church comes together for a special time of prayer and Bible study.
Children’s Church
In order to give our children the best Bible teaching possible, Southside holds a children’s church service in conjunction with the main service. This special time gives kids more opportunity for interaction and learning in a context and manner that may be better suited to their age and learning styles. Our friendly children’s church volunteers have an endless stream of creativity–ranging from puppet shows, to games, to object lessons.
