There is no greater responsibility a man of God has than to set his heart to follow the Word of God. This involves careful and diligent study, followed by practical daily application in our lives.
The men of South Church meet for early morning or evening studies to study, grow, and reach out to other men. Currently we have retreats, golf outings, and other special events planned. Be sure to check the calendar of events.
Mission Statement:
- Encourage men to live lives worthy of God’s call (I Thes. 2:11-12)
- Building into faithful men (2 Tim. 2:2)
- Men proving to be faithful servants (I Cor. 4:1-2)
