Youth Group
Sunday Night
Sundays | 5:30 - 7:30 PM
All students grades 6th - 12th are invited to join us in the Youth Worship Center each Sunday evening. Before the lesson begins at 6:00 PM, we're usually hanging out, playing games and eating. Pastor Nate and his team share God's word in a relatable way to teens so that they may see the relevancy of scripture in their lives.
Each year we ask that our students complete a NEW Southland Liability Form. You only need to complete this once per year, not for every event. Click below for your 2023 form.

Spring Mission Trip
April 21-23
Shepherd Community Center
Our student ministry will be going to the near East side of Indy to help one of our local mission partners minister to our neighbors. We will be staying two nights while helping to cook meals for the neighbors, run their food pantry, fix up some of the local properties, and learn from the staff and neighbors there about what poverty looks like here in Indianapolis. This is a great first mission for any and all middle and high school students as it is affordable, close by, educational, and impactful. You can check out our trip info sheet below, sign up at the link, or contact Pastor Nate with any questions you may have.
Fall Mission Trip
October 7-14
Cucuta, Colombia
Southland will be traveling to Colombia again in the fall of 2023. We will be working with local church members and interpreters to share the story of Jesus with their community. Last year’s trip saw over 300 enter a relationship with Jesus, so this is not an opportunity you will want to miss! This trip is open to the entire church from high school age up. If you want more information, please contact Pastor Nate below.
