Give Online

Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. (2 Corinthians 9:7)

Throughout Scripture, we are reminded of the importance of giving back a portion of what God has so generously provided. His Word tells us that giving is an act of worship that should be done with a spirit of thanksgiving.

Technology has given us new ways of giving, and many of you have expressed an interest in online giving. We are now able to offer you this tool to assist in your giving. We know this is not for everyone. Yet, because this option serves many people here at SouthGate Church we are making it available.

It’s easy. You don’t have to worry about bringing your checkbook and finding a pen or having the cash on hand when you come to service.

It’s simple. Just fill out the online giving form. You are able to manage your own giving history. You will need to set up a user account the first time you give.

It’s safe. The information you submit is securely encrypted and will only be used to fulfill your selected financial transaction.

A word of caution: Online giving is being provided as a convenience for you, allowing you to give by way of ACH (funds taken directly out of your bank account/less costly to the church), debit or credit card account. However, SouthGate Church does not encourage anyone to enter into debt to give or fulfill a pledge. If you use a credit card, make sure you are able to pay off your credit card bill when it comes due.

How to Create a New Online Giving Account with Churchteams:

  1. Log on to Churchteams
  2. Enter amount you wish you give
  3. Enter your name
  4. Enter your email
  5. Choose the fund designation

SouthGate’s Youth Ministry

SouthGate’s Youth group meets from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. every Wednesday night. They are dedicated to improving the lives of our youth through the power of Jesus Christ and the truth of God’s Word.

Our Mission: To reach our friends and the youth of our community.

Our Vision: Real people, serving a Real God, meeting Real needs in a Real way.

Our Youth Ministry is committed to teaching young people the truth about life’s situations. We understand that our world is seeking fulfillment and hope via gangs, sex, and drugs, and we realize that Jesus Christ is the only real way to receive true fulfillment and hope in life. Our responsibility to the community around us is taken very seriously and we know that God will use SouthGate Youth as an instrumental tool in reaching the South Mountain area youth for Jesus.

The youth at SouthGate Church are an integral part of our congregation and we believe that they are truly the leaders of tomorrow serving in the church of today.

We invite you to come and visit our Wednesday night youth service and experience the fun and excitement that is present when young people come together to seek God. Our goal as a youth ministry is to put aside the religious aspect of church and enter into a personal and meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ.

Jesus was a teenager once too!

You are invited to be a apart of our youth group if you are between 7th and 12th Grade!

We meet every Wednesday night from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.

Your First Visit

We Look Forward to Meeting You

It's always someone's first Sunday

On your visit to our church, expect be warmly greeted, given a visitor packet and asked to fill out a visitor card. We want to know a little about you, find out how you came to visit us and what we can do for you.

Since our service is adult-centered, we provide a spectacular Children’s Church program SouthGate Seasons for ages 6-12, a 3-5 yr. old program, and a Nursery for infants through 2 years old.

We do have a nursing room for your convenience behind our sound booth. This will allow you to leave the service with your infant to care for their needs and still be able to hear the service.

Each of our services are recorded and Sunday’s main service is streamed live online. Audio CDs are available immediately following each service for $3.00. Each message is also available here on our web site.

The words to our praise & worship songs are displayed on the projection screens to the right & left of the stage.

We do not take up an offering in a traditional way. Instead, we provide an offering box that is located at the entry of the worship center.

On your first visit, we would like to present you with a small gift to say, “Thank you for worshiping with us today,” a little reminder of your time with us. After service, be sure to meet our Hospitality Team as you exit the worship center to receive a gift.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you and for joining us in worship!

The Good News

The Good News GOD’s Word

God's Word - The Bible

The Gospel is so simple you have to have help to miss it.

  • Works are of NO value! You can’t earn your way to heaven. “ 8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV)
  • It is not about religion or how often you go to church. It is about a relationship.

 

Here is the simple version of the ‘Good News’.

  • We have all sinned and need a way to get back into right relationship with God. “ 23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23 (KJV)
  • God loves us so much that He provided the way for us to get back into that right relationship. “ 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (KJV)
  • All we have to do is accept by faith the free gift that God provided. We do that by accepting Jesus Christ as our personal savior and putting Him in charge of our life, which gets us back into right relationship with God.

 

It actually is that simple. When we realize that we will spend eternity with God because of what Jesus freely did for us, we will serve Him because we want to, not because we have to.

Our Ministries

Cell groups, family groups, disciple groups, specialty groups, care groups … there are many names for the small group ministries prevalent in churches today. At SouthGate Church, we choose to use the term “Connect Groups.”

Any growing church faces the possibility of not being able to effectively serve those who meet for Sunday morning and Connect Group gatherings. As SouthGate Church grows, it is committed to the growing Connect Group emphasis so that everyone has the opportunity to grow in Christ through fellowship, serving, and using personal giftings.

SouthGate Church is committed to the welfare of our membership and realizes that the Connect Group initiative is critical in light of its ongoing growth. Everyone must be connected, and there is no better way than meeting in a Connect Group.

Children’s Ministries are also vitally important in SouthGate’s ministry emphasis, including our 91st Psalm Christian School, Pre K-12th Grade. Children’s programs offered at SouthGate are designed to significantly minister to the children of our community.

Our child-friendly Connect Groups have a separate ministry for children. The children’s portion of these groups are lead by youth volunteers. This provides youth an opportunity to learn the value of serving the needs of others.

We also have a Youth (7th-12th grade) Connect Group that meets Wednesday nights from 6:30-8:30 p.m. and a College Age Connect Group (through age 25) that meets Saturday nights from 4-6 p.m. Read more about our Connet Groups below.

Women’s Ministry

The women’s ministry at SouthGate is a vibrant group of women whose desire it is to see the power of God demonstrated through His people. Throughout the Biblical history, God has used women to reach and disciple thousands of people. It is no different here at SouthGate. God is using the women in this church to effectively minister to His people and the community through retreats, special services, social events, small group ministries, conferences, Bible studies, and inner city outreaches. We are convinced that God has placed a great responsibility on women to reach out and serve.

For more information, please contact our Women’s Pastor, Arnie Ranney.
