SOUTHSIDE
METHODIST CHURCH
Southside Students is a place just for middle and high schoolers (ages 12–18) to explore what it means to follow Jesus, build lasting friendships, and discover who God created them to be. Whether you’ve been in church forever or you're just figuring it all out, you’re welcome here!
We hang out weekly for worship, fun, small groups, and real talk about life and faith. There’s room for questions, a place for everyone, and always something going on.
Southside Students Fall 2026
Kingdom Culture: Living for Jesus Day by Day
Fall is underway at Southside Students, and there are plenty of ways for Middle and High School students to connect, build friendships, have fun, and grow in their faith.
This semester, we’re exploring Kingdom Culture and what it really looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life. Not just on Sunday, but at school, with friends, at home, in the choices we make, and in the way we treat the people around us.
Sunday Club is the heart of our week, with separate Middle and High School gatherings and dinner together in between. Students can also connect through Sunday School, Wednesday Life Groups, Midweek Southside, special events, and opportunities to serve together throughout the fall.
There’s a place for you here whether you’ve been part of Southside forever, are just beginning to explore faith, or a friend invited you for the first time.
Come hang out. Bring a friend. Ask questions. Find your people. And discover what it means to live for Jesus day by day.
Sunday Club
Middle School | 5:30–6:30 PM
Dinner for MS + HS | 6:30–7:00 PM
High School | 7:00–8:00 PM
