Missions
Southland's mission of "Being and making growing followers of Jesus Christ" extends beyond the walls of our church building. Jesus commissions us to take this calling to all the world, so we partner with global and local mission organizations to accomplish this important purpose. Southland has seven full-time missionary families who are members of our church that help us carry out this calling, as well. In addition, all of our people are challenged to be part of this mission by going on short-term trips, volunteering at local mission service opportunities or praying for and giving to missions.
