SOUTHSIDE MISSIONS

Southside Methodist Church is committed to reaching people for Christ,

in our own neighborhood, across the region, and around the world.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations

Matthew 28:19

Locally (Local Outreach)

At Southside we believe that giving of ourselves to others and reaching out into our community is really the heart of God. We support, financially and physically, local ministries that are meeting the practical and spiritual needs of the people. With things such as food drives, angel tree, manna bags, HAPI and care for the homebound, we value others within our own community.

 

Around the world (World Outreach)

We are committed to world missions. Whether it's in the monthly support of missionaries and ministries across the world, or support funding the construction of churches in Cuba and other places our heart is to see the gospel preached everywhere to everyone.

You are already part of making a difference in the world today!

Southside finds its purpose in being an agent of God's mission locally, regionally and around the world.

We hope you see yourself on mission with us this coming year!

If you are not already connected to a mission, pick one today for 2023 and join us!
