Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely not. Sounds like you should know two things: First, we’d be honored to have you with us. Jesus was excited to help people connect to their Heavenly Father, and we are too. Second, you should know that if you haven’t been to church in awhile (or ever), you won’t be alone. Every week, you’ll find beginners, seasoned veterans, and everything in between. Come join us; we’d love to have you.

Sundays at Southwest are warm and casual. We always seek to be reverent as we worship God. Though we don’t always do things in the same order, you can expect some combination of singing, prayer, a message from the Bible, and communion. We will worship God together at 9 AM and then break for Bible Class around 10:05.

  • Our singing is “acapella,” which simply means “without instrumental accompaniment.” Since the earliest Christians worshipped this way, and since the New Testament only mentions worshiping with our voices, we choose to just sing. We think there’s beauty in the simplicity and high level of participation that acapella music brings about.
  • If you’re new to faith and don’t feel comfortable singing yet, no worries. Feel free to listen as we sing to our Great God. 
  • Churches of Christ trace their roots back to the Restoration Movement, a time in American religious history when Christians from various denominations decided they wanted to restore the expression of church they read about in the New Testament. Though we are an autonomous congregation and aren’t governed by any outside creed or council, we count ourselves a part of the movement to restore Christianity to Christ’s design. We strive to be “simply Christians.’
