Description

Who We Are 

Southwest Church is a Gospel Centered, Multiethnic, Intergenerational Church.  We Love Discipleship! OUR FOCUS Southwest Church is focused on discipling people to become committed followers of Jesus Christ. We desire all members of Southwest to be: 

• PLANTED (the call to salvation) 
• ROOTED (the call to foundation) 
• GROWING (the call to maturation) 
• GOING (the call to multiplication) 

OUR VALUES 

• We are Faithful - We love Jesus! Our gospel-centered church will be driven by our gospel- centered team. We will aim for faithfulness to Jesus, Jesus’ Word, and Jesus’ will above all else. (1 JOHN 4) 
• We are Family - Our families are our first ministry not the church. Our families will love the church and never feel like they have to compete with the church. So, we’ll honor the Sabbath, honor time away from work to invest in our families, and encourage our people to do the same. (1 TIMOTHY 3) 
• We are Fun - Laughing, enjoyment, and celebration is going to be normal here. Our calling is a serious one, but it is not one that is without amazing fun! (ECCLESIASTES 8) 
• We are Free - We are a team on a mission. And you’re free to make that mission happen! We let thoroughbreds run. We’ll give you the play and make sure you’re free to run it. Our team is free to lead. Free to speak. Free to innovate. Free to fail. All for the purpose of achieving the mission God has given us. (GALATIANS 2) 
• We are Forgiving - Sin is serious and we won’t let it remain in the camp. We will constantly forgive one another because we’ve been forgiven. When conflict happens, we’ll address it quickly, respond graciously, and move forward by keeping short accounts with each other. (MATTHEW 18) 
• We are Flexible - We embrace change! There are no sacred cows here, just a sacred goal to make Jesus famous! We’ll be geared to the times but anchored to the rock. (MARK 2) 
• We are Forthright - We want to bear much fruit! And because ministry is hard to measure, we’ll allow iron to sharpen iron to make one another better! So, we’re going to be forthright. Because fearless feedback yields fruit! (PROVERBS 27)
