Church Membership
Church membership is about belonging to one another and becoming like Jesus. It is the way for individual Christians to make their formal commitment to the South Church family. In becoming a church member, individuals express their submission to the leadership of the church in accordance with the teaching of Scripture and the doctrinal statement of South Church.
Requirements for South Church Membership:
- Personal profession of faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
- Committed to corporate worship and personal devotion to Christ and His Word.
- Baptism as a believer—at South Church we practice believer’s baptism by immersion. According to the command of Jesus himself and consistent with New Testament teaching, those who have consciously turned from their sin and put their personal faith in Jesus Christ should be baptized as an outward sign of their commitment to Him as Savior and Lord.
- Membership Course—attend The Membership Course that is normally offered three times during the year.
Please RSVP using the form below one week prior.
Come to the annual congregational meeting after our regular 6 pm service on April 28, 2024. Be sure to pick up a voter guide at the welcome desk before that date so you can see who is running for elected offices. Members over the age of 16 may vote.
Guides are now available at the welcome desk.
We invite our whole church family to join us in celebrating the end of our Awana year on Wednesday, May 1. We are celebrating all the kids have learned this year – they all deserve a gold medal!
- Each group will have their own program in the Worship Center:
- Cubbies at 6 pm
- Sparks at 6:30 pm

After their program, your child is encouraged to bring their whole family to the South Life Center for a treat, photo op, and viewing more fun photos from our Awana year.
