Core Practices

Love God. Love People. Love Creation.

Our life together is formed around three core practices: worship, connection, and care. As we participate in these practices, we position ourselves within the flow of God’s love. We receive and give love in tangible, embodied ways.

Worship

Worship is a way of life, not just something we do in a church building on Sunday mornings. We seek to worship God together in ways that are holistic, accessible, participatory, and embodied. We make room for creativity, include children, and integrate our values into our worship. People describe our worship gatherings as spacious, authentic, inclusive, warm, and thoughtful.

Connection

We worship a communal God. As a community, we seek to foster connections that feel friendly, organic, open, and real. We design connecting points in our community rhythms such as potlucks, fifth Sunday brunches, and intergenerational hikes to help us get to know each other. We create annual traditions such as Gleaners trips in the summer, our ice skating party in the winter, our communion of mulled wine and warm challah bread in a barn on Christmas Eve, and our onion planting for A Rocha every April. While we are relationally oriented rather than program driven, we recognize the importance of intentional rhythms, particularly for our kids and youth.

Care

As a community, we care. We make space for grief and hope, sadness and celebration. We pray, share meals, and show up for each other in hard times. We have multiple volunteer teams that help on Sunday mornings because engagement builds community and many hands make light work. We want to create circles of belonging so no one has to go through it alone. We want to grow in our ability to be a compassionate, trauma-aware community that is responsive to the needs of our wider community.

Friendship bench

NETwork

NETwork is umbrella structure at Southpoint that helps us connect and care for one another when life gets challenging. Within NETwork, we have:

The Friendship
Bench

Volunteers serve on the “friendship bench” in two week rotations. Kind, wise, and seasoned listeners, they are available to meet up for coffee, prayer, a chat, or a phone call. No one should have to go through hard things alone. 

Helping Hands

This new initiative matches people going through an unexpected crisis with people who have margin to help. We help get meals on the table, floors vacuumed, and groceries to your door.

Prayer Network

The prayer chain holds people’s prayer requests in confidence. If you have something heavy you need held by extra hearts, they will do this with love.

We are mending the net of connection between God, people, and creation, one strand at a time.
