Find your spiritual home in a multi-generational community of warm fellowship, fulfilling learning, and good works.

Explore South Church through our website or, better still, join us for a Sunday morning service to see who we are and what we value. Greet the ministers at the front door and worship with us in the sanctuary as we draw on many faith traditions to explore what we believe and why.
