We believe God is already at work in our community. This has led Southwood to partner with organizations in the transformational work that is happening all around us. Southwood joins in that work by equipping and empowering our congregation to serve our neighbors in the Lincoln area.
You are invited to join us in serving. There are a variety of opportunities available for individuals, groups and families throughout the year.
Because we belong to God we are called to love and serve our neighbor. Our church serves others in our local and global community so that they can feel God’s love and belonging, too. On Mission Sunday, we are excited to reflect on the past year in Missions and set our sights on the future.
