Get to Know South Church
Watch Services & Sermons
Watch past services on our YouTube channel to get a feel for our community. Weekly sermons connect scripture with the issues of today and are offered to uplift, sustain, and inspire hope in these challenging times.
Programs for Kids & Teens
We offer free child care during services for our youngest members (tired parents, take note!). For K-12, our inclusive and experiential learning program explores what it means to be a Christian in the 21st century.
Caring for Community
We support the local community and build intergenerational connections through our church suppers, bible study classes, shawl ministry, craft program, and the annual Sleighbell fair.
Music & Choir
Worship services at South Church are enhanced by our choir, our historic and beautiful organ, and we are often blessed with visiting musicians from around the valley.
Climate Action
From achieving net-zero energy use in our historic building, to planting pollinators and joining regional climate actions, we’ve sought to be a leader in caring for creation for more than two decades.
Arts & Social Justice Series
This program offers concerts, book groups, and community gatherings, and in recent years has hosted the town-wide event Reading Frederick Douglass Together.
A Message from our Pastor
Whoever you are and wherever you are on your faith journey, we welcome you to our website, and invite you to explore it and consider joining us in person sometime soon. We hope you discover that our messages are rooted in the traditions of faith, but relevant to our modern lives today. We take the Bible seriously, but not literally. We take our faith seriously but try not to take ourselves too seriously.
If you have questions about South Church, I hope you will be in touch so that I can answer them and get to know you.
Blessing on your journey,
Rev. Dr. Susan Cartmell
