MAGNIFY YAHWEH
EXALT HIS NAME TOGETHER
PSALM 34:3
WHY THIS MATTERS
We want to become
a church that truly
goes.
Our mission at Southside is Glorify, Grow, and Go.
The going part should be the fruit of everything else, but it can easily become the part we neglect.
The Missions Course gives us dedicated time to understand God’s heart for the nations and consider how our lives—not only our finances—can participate in His mission.
OUR FOCUS THIS YEAR
“Magnify Yahweh with me; let us exalt His name together.”
Psalm 34:3
THE HEART BEHIND THE COURSE
See why the
mission matters.
The mission of God is bigger than a single conference. Take a few minutes to hear the heart behind The Missions Course and why reaching the nations matters to every follower of Jesus.
