Core Images
At Southpoint, we have four core images that help us to remember who God is and to imagine who God is calling us to be.
In 2022, we commissioned Joy Banks to create artwork for each of the four images. Joy clustered the images around a figure of Jesus stepping forward, arms outstretched in welcome, which she experiences as the charism of our community. May it be so!
In 2024, Daniela Amestegui used Joy’s art to create our new Logo, four squares of colour gathered around the cross, the presence of Christ in us.
The Well
In the Outback, there are two ways of keeping sheep: fences and wells. At Southpoint, we prefer wells. We are journeying towards the well, drawn together by our common thirst.
At Southpoint, we want to provide the widest possible access to this well, while drawing our life from Jesus, our Centre. We are a diverse community. There is no doctrinal statement you have to profess to be welcome. Engage thoughtfully, and discern what feels helpful to you on your spiritual journey. Our welcome is spacious.
Thirsty? Come and see.

The Table
Jesus spent time with people around tables so they would feel seen and loved by God. At Southpoint, we want people to feel seen and loved by God too. We want people to know they belong at God’s table. Unity doesn’t equal uniformity—we don’t have to look, feel, or think the same to be at the table together.
We have meals together and seek to share what we have with those in need. We are seeking to find ways to build a longer, more equitable table. We share communion weekly and practice an “open table” where all are welcome, including our children.
There is room at our table for you.

The Seed
Seeds are small and full of potential. They flourish in the right environment. Seeds also remind us that growth is organic and slow. At Southpoint, we watch for sprouting seeds. We look for what is emerging.
Growth at Southpoint isn’t defined by numbers. It’s about how we are listening and responding to the Spirit’s movements in us. It’s about how we are cultivating collaborative leadership and nurturing circles of belonging. It’s about being open and generous as we adapt to shifting needs and circumstances. Growth at Southpoint is steady, slow, and sustainable. Together, in Jesus, we grow.
Be open to what is unfurling.

The Net
Ancient fishermen laboured together to mend their nets. We recognize the church has broken trust with people and creation. It is time to be menders of the net, co-labouring with God to support one another and heal connections. We seek the mutual flourishing of all life forms on earth.
We begin where we are, in our own backyards. We keep our program life and budget simple so we can care for each other and invest in our neighborhoods. We celebrate the ways people volunteer, befriend, serve, and connect outside of our church. Energy grows by doing things together, so we also seek ways to share, show up and serve together.
Together, we mend the net, one strand at a time.
