FAQ's
Below are answers to some frequently asked questions about Southlands Church. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.
Beliefs?
Are you a Christian church?
Absolutely! Southlands is a non-denominational church that believes in the authority of the Christian scriptures for our lives and practices. We hold to the essential orthodox Christian beliefs as best expressed in the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Evangelical Statement of Faith.
What's your leadership structure?
We believe the church belongs to Jesus and that He is the head of the church (see Colossians 1:18). Under Jesus, we practice a shared team leadership model of church government in which all of our pastors lead together, mutually submit to one another, and hold one another accountable (see Acts 14:23). We also believe every team has a leader of whom Kelly Monaghan serves as a "first among equals" for the pastoral team.
Gatherings?
What time are your Sunday gatherings?
We meet every Sunday at 10 am and services are 90 minutes.
How should I dress?
Come as you are. Most people dress casually but dressing up is ok too!
Will I be singled out?
No. We never ask visitors to stand and be recognized, come to the front, or anything like that.
