We are often asked about our involvement in the community. For example, we might hear, "What does Southside Church do for
underprivileged children?" Or, "How is Southside involved in caring for the homeless?"
These are good questions.
Several years ago we made a decision not to replicate ministries that are already doing an excellent job meeting specific needs in our
community. Instead, we have chosen to funnel human and financial resources into a handful of organizations that are doing a far better
job within their spheres of influence than we could ever do. Below you will find our current list of what we refer to as Compassion
Ministries.
By clicking on a name, you will be taken directly to the ministry's website. If you find an organization that is addressing a need that
captures your heart, please contact it directly to find out about the opportunities for personal ministry. And don't forget to consider how
your entire community group can get involved.
