Many Opportunities for You!

Our mission is to share the good news of God's saving love, to make and grow disciples of Jesus Christ, and to serve from our doorsteps "to the end of the earth." So it is that we offer a variety of ministries for you and your family.

Ministries to Grow Disciples

Southport Chrisitian offers a variety of studies, Sunday school classes and Bible studies for you to be involved in. Other opportunities for growth include prayer vigils, retreats, workshops and group activities. There are various offerings throughout the year for you to grow in your discipleship. Check the newsletter regularly for your chance to get involved!

Ministries of Service and Compassion

Southport Christian Church values service as a primary part of the Christian faith. We respond to God's call to serve one another through both local and global opportunities.

Local opportunities

Habitat for Humanity builds homes for low income families. Refugee resettlement helps persecuted christians from Myanmar (formerly Burma) settle here in Indiana. Church Federation Prayer Vigils ministers to families experiencing a homicide. Hunger Inc. is a local food pantry and it has collected 53,427 lbs of food and distributed 60,298 lbs through July of 2007 to 6,069 clients. Our church (Southport Church) donated 4,000 pounds of soup. Regular collections are taken to help feed the hungry.

Global opportunities

Mission trips- Youth groups go on mission trips around the country each summer. Adults have periodic trips nearby and far away.
Offerings to the Week of Compassion provide assistance for humanitarian crises and natural disasters here in North America and around the world.
Other Disciples of Christ special offerings at Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter help further the ministry of the church across the country and around the world.

Ministries of Hospitality

Every church loves to eat! Our hospitality ministry strives to make people feel welcome and comfortable. From Sunday morning coffee to special holiday meals, the hospitality ministry provides the church with a variety of opportunities to enjoy fellowship at the table.


Each one of these ministries provide "Food for the Journey" in different ways. New opportunities for serving one another occur on a regular basis. We invite you to be a part of these ministries of growth, service and compassion!
