Worship Services

Our goal is to glorify the God of Heaven by making disciples on earth. Corporate worship services are opportunities for the church body to respond to God for all He has done, by experiencing the historical and modern expression of the arts in worship, with the goal that everyone present can experience the presence of God. The sermons are delivered live and are virtually the same from service to service. Regardless of age and people’s personal preference, we wish for all those in attendance at South to respond in praise, adoration, confession, and thanksgiving to the God of the universe. The music, Scripture readings, and other service elements are typically integrated around the sermon theme.

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.

Creative 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.

Evening 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.

South offers a children’s choir program in order to teach children the importance of worship through music and the arts and what it means, and to provide opportunities for them to lead in worship through a variety of worship skills. For more information on the children’s choir program contact the pastor of worship ministries.

Kingdom Rock Choir (formerly called Kids’ Choir) is open to students who are in third through sixth grade. This year we are also extending enrollment to seventh graders, to accommodate the lost opportunities due to pandemic closures. The rehearsal is during the 6PM Sunday evening worship service. This choir enjoys learning a variety of styles of songs that can be used in worship, they present a musical each spring, and they often participate in the annual Christmas production.

We are looking for adults and teen to join us this academic year as we teach kids about Jesus.

Serve once a month on Sunday, during either hour or every week on Wednesday as an Awana small group leader. We always welcome nursery volunteers for both of those days as well. If you’re interested, but not sure what level of commitment you are able to do, reach out to Steph or Andrea, and they would love to discuss the many options you have for serving in the most important work: discipling children.

Teens are invited to volunteer to serve once a month on Sundays during the second hour.
