The worship ministries of South Church serve to bring praise to Jesus Christ and to magnify His presence in the hearts of the congregation. God is a creative being and we are made in His image.
The area of worship ministries assists the church in claiming Christ’s lordhsip over its creative talents and in using those talents for His honor and purposes to ultimately bring glory to God and to enjoy and worship Him forever.
Our intent is to serve, prepare for, integrate, complement and further expand the ministry of God’s word.

Did you know that every weekend here at South Church, we have anywhere from 16 to 20 volunteers serving in our audio-visual ministry? These folks work tirelessly to help our ministries function every week, running slides, running lights, mixing audio, operating cameras, directing our broadcast and more!
It takes a lot of volunteers to make all of this happen and that means we need your help! We are looking for some new volunteers to join our team. If you have experience with technology or serving in AV, then great! Even if you have no experience, don’t worry! We will train you! Even young people from our youth group are welcome to serve on the AV Team, although we have some extra expectations for them.
Even if you have a busy schedule, that’s not a problem! Serve as often as you are able.
If you would like to get involved with serving on our AV Team, send me an email at esimpson@southlife.org. Please include your name, and briefly tell me about your experience with Audio/Visual and I will be in touch.
Contact Ethan about volunteeringVisual Arts
Art is always communicating something, whether intentional or not. It is not merely a-moral, as we sometimes treat it. Since Christ is to be Lord of the whole man, all our abilities and activities should be submitted under His lordship. We should treat art the same way by placing it under God’s authority.
Since art does communicate our worldview, artists must be aware of what they are saying through their art. An artist in the secular world may create his works to express himself or showcase his talents. However, a Christ-follower has the opportunity to glorify God by not only emulating a fraction of the creativity of a Supremely creative God, but to go a step further and communicate God’s truths intentionally.
When looking at the works of a Christian artist, we should see God’s truths permeating throughout. The artist’s worldview should shine through, augmenting their testimony as a follower of Christ. That is an invaluable way to witness to our neighbors in the world with the aim to make disciples of all nations, as we are all called to do.
Why should South Church encourage visual arts?
- To disciple, train and shepherd our artists to emulate God’s creativity for the purpose of making much of Him.
- To encourage artists to purposefully convey a Christian worldview through the breadth of their work over the course of their lifetime, placing their gifts and talents under the lordship of Christ.
- To facilitate an environment for South Church artists to interact over common interest so they can spur one another on toward higher pursuits of their craft.
- To enjoy God and glorify Him forever.
Worship Services
Balanced Service
(Sunday 9:30 am – Worship Center)These services have a formal setting with pew-style seating and greater levels of light for the congregation. The balanced services are led by the South Choir, Vocal Teams, band and/or the orchestra using a blend of traditional hymnody, meaningful praise and worship songs, and selections by classical and sacred composers.
Morning Service ArchivesCreative Service
(Sunday 11:00 am – Chapel)Service elements in this service are less formal and are programmed to be free-flowing with lower levels of light on the congregation. The music is predominantly guitar-driven and contemporary. The creative service music is led by the worship team putting modern instrumentation to worship songs and traditional hymns.
Morning Service ArchivesEvening Service
(Sunday 6:00 pm – Chapel)This service is very simple and traditional, singing predominantly hymns and almost always accompanied by the piano only. The teaching often extrapolates on what was taught on that Sunday morning. Occasionally the message is presented by a special guest or missionary speaking on a special topic of interest.
