Your kids will love Southside!

Hey there! We look forward to your kids getting connected here at Southside where they can grow in their relationship with Jesus and one another. Our goal is to partner with parents to develop kids’ faith.

 

Starting in the Fall the  2026 - 2027 Children’s Sunday School classes meet each Sunday at 10 a.m. for children in PreK3 through 5th grade. These classes focus on four key areas: connecting with each other and with God’s Word, studying God’s Word together, interacting with Scripture to discover key themes and takeaways, and responding to God’s Word by applying it to daily life.
