People - Jesus always put people first. We are committed to being
the
church that encourages spiritual growth instead of legalism. You matter to
us, not your class, culture, color or even your money.
Growth – We want everyone growing spiritually. One of our primary
tasks is to help you become the person God created you to be. With God in
control, we are radically positive about your future.
Giving Our Lives Away To Others – One of the most important parts
of spiritual growth is giving ourselves away to others with no thought of
reward. We will encourage and facilitate opportunities for you to help
others and follow Christ’s example.
Church As Family – We are committed to church being a place that is
warm, friendly and supportive. We want everyone to feel like the people
they worship with are family. We think “family” is a group of people who
are not perfect, but folk that we love and who love us unconditionally.
Quality Programming – We want to give our best to God. We are
striving to have the best children, teen and adult programs possible. We
believe it is important to think "outside the box” and focus on
effectiveness and quality.
A Positive, Uplifting Environment - Some churches concentrate on
the negative. If you are looking for a church that “Beats you up” then
this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a place that is up
beat and wants to create a positive environment for adults and children
alike, the Southwood is your kind of Church.
