Becoming a church our city and world would miss if we were gone.
We believe Jesus calls us to impact the world around us. South doesn’t exist just for ourselves, but rather to respond to the unique felt needs in our community. This may look like serving in our Food Bank, supporting our local ministry partners, and being an outward-facing church. In Local Outreach, we desire to love like Jesus, respect, and value everyone, build relationships, partner with and empower others, and invite people into meaningful and transformative experiences.

VOLUNTEER/DONATE
South Fellowship Food Bank
Our Food Bank supports anyone who could use some help with food for their household. Each person who comes through our doors has a name and a story, and together with Jesus, we create a safe place where everyone is known, cared for, and encouraged. Our Food Bank thrives because many volunteers work together, pitching in with what they love to do. Our team members pick up from local grocery stores, sort food, get to know shoppers as we serve them food, and keep all the behind-the-scenes things running. If you’d like to join our team, please fill out our Serve at South form.
SHARE YOUR IDEAS
Together Teams
Do you have a project or activity in mind that would serve our local community? We’d love to hear about it! We’re always looking for passionate people in the South community who are interested in bringing people together to address needs in our area. These “Together Teams” could work with the homeless, immigrants, or refugees, help at a neighborhood school, partner with a local nonprofit, beautify the neighborhood, or do something else we haven’t considered yet. Fill out our Together Teams Project Kickoff form to share your thoughts and to find out how South can support you.
