The presence of little ones is a gift to South Church since they remind us that our community of faith is active and alive! We believe that young children are a blessing and we offer heartfelt hospitality to them and to you because we take seriously these words of invitation issued by our denomination: “No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.”

​​

We offer an inclusive, family-centered, worship service for all that promotes fellowship and celebrates all of God’s beloved people. 

​​

Beginning May 17, the Prayground launches!

 

The Prayground is a space at the front of the sanctuary where children ages 2–8 can engage in worship through creativity, movement, and quiet activity while remaining part of the gathered community. Older children are encouraged to remain with their families and engage with the “Children and Young @ Heart” section of the bulletin during worship. Additional quiet activities and children’s items are also available on the Children’s Shelf in the Narthex.

 

This ministry reflects the understanding that children belong fully in worship and that faith is formed across generations. Come experience this new beginning with us.

​​

Opportunities for children to further engage with the congregation are encouraged through the intentional planning of intergenerational activities as well. Children and adults participate in worship experiences, book studies, mission work, musical adventures and shared fellowship opportunities. It is our belief at South Church that learning with and from one another, we grow closer to our loving God.
 

South Church is SAFE

​​

South Church is committed to creating and maintaining a Christian, family-friendly, community in which children, youth, parents, grandparents, adult volunteers, and authorized ministers can worship and share their spiritual journey together in an atmosphere free from all forms of discrimination, harassment, exploitation, and intimidation. ​​​
