YOU are welcome here!
That’s
the spirit of South Church in Andover:
an extravagant welcome to you, no matter where you are on your faith
journey. This is a congregation that extends a warm welcome to people
of all colors, cultures, abilities, and sexual orientation, to believers and
questioners, and welcome to questioning believers. Welcome to all who have no church home, need strength, want
to follow Christ, have doubts, or do not believe.
We joyfully and unconditionally welcome you
and hope you find peace and inspiration in our service.
South Church is a church for children and youth. Children and youth are never considered a distraction but rather are welcomed, cherished, included and valued as an integral part of our life.
Come to South Church to discover…
.. a
center for spiritual renewal, with
messages to help you relate the teachings of the bible to your everyday life and
music to lift up your spirit. The
worship of God is the reason for our being.
.. a
boot camp for Christian service.
Worship and service form the foundation of our community of faith, so
that what is wrought in the one is woven into the fabric of the other.
The One we follow came not to be served but to serve, to stand with and
to speak for the ones whom God named “the
least of these, members of my family.”
.. an
academy for teaching and learning
about our faith. The most important
content of the gospel is relationships:
your relationship to God and to God’s children.
At South Church, learn how to grow in those relationships.
.. a
community which is like another family.
The blessed tie that binds us together makes us like a family -- caring
for one another, taking means to one in need, praying for one another, and
realizing that you belong to something important here.
YOU are welcome here!
