Are you new to South? We invite you to a casual lunch in the Student Ministry Center and Lounge. There will be a time to get to know Pastor Don, as well as a Q&A with members of the ministry staff to help you learn more about South Church and our desire to help you grow in relationship with Jesus Christ and connect with others at South Church. We would love to meet you. Children are welcome.

There are few emotions more powerful than hope. These days hope often feels hard to come by. But real hope is what the Christian faith claims to offer. Hope Explored explains how the gospel infuses life with the hope, peace and purpose we all long for and how Jesus himself is the fulfilment of God’s promise of hope. This course runs from Sunday, April 24 – May 15 at 6:00pm in the Fireside Room. Please join us if you are interested. No need to sign up.

Have you been attending South Church for some time, or just a short period of time, and desire to learn more about becoming a member? Then this event is for you! Join us for breakfast and discussion on Saturday at 9:30 AM.
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.
