About us
WHO WE ARE
The mission of the Southern Hills Church is to love God and do His will, to bring seekers to God through Christ and to help believers grow in Him. The mission of the Southern Hills youth ministry is similar...
​
We exist to lead teenagers into a life-changing walk with Jesus Christ.
Our ministry encompasses 6th - 12th grade students from Washington County, Indiana. We are roughly 30 students in size, and we see it as our mission to lead teenagers into a deeper, more meaningful walk with Jesus Christ. If you are a student, we would love the opportunity to meet you and get to know you. If you are a parent, we would also love the opportunity to meet you and answer any questions you may have about us or our ministry.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Here is a basic explanation of our core beliefs. We hope this simply gives a glimpse into what we believe. If you would like to know more about what we believe, feel free to reach out to Brenden.
Who is God?
God is the creator and sovereign ruler of the universe and all that is in it. He has eternally existed in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three co-exist as the one and only God.
(Genesis 1:1, 1:26-27; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 4:4-6)
What about this man named Jesus?
Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came to earth to save us from our sins. He lived a sinless life, even though he was tempted in every way, and willingly offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men and women by dying on a cross. He demonstrated his power over sin and death by being resurrected from the dead after three days. Shortly after his resurrection, Jesus ascended to Heaven and promised to return. Salvation can only come through Jesus Christ.
(Matthew 1:21; Luke 19:10; John 3:16; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 4:14-15; I Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 1:9-11, 4:12;
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Colossians 1:15-23)
Who is the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. In conjunction with the Bible which He inspired, the Holy Spirit provides the Christian with understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right.
(Acts 2:38; I Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13-14; Romans 8:26-27; Galatians 5:22-26)
How did human beings come into existence?
Men and women are created by God and are made in his image. When God created us, he gave us the freedom of choice. Unfortunately, we often use our freedom to disobey God, which is sin. This sin separates us from God, placing us in need of a savior - Jesus Christ.
(Genesis 1:27; Isaiah 53:6, 59:1-2; Romans 3:23)
Is there life after death?
We believe in the eternal realities of Heaven and Hell. We also believe that it is for God alone to judge the righteous and the unrighteous. Our goal is to love all and direct all glory to Jesus Christ. It is through His death, burial, and resurrection that we, those who accept Christ as Lord and Savior, may be counted as righteous.
(Matthew 10:28, 7:21, 22:36-40; I John 5:11-13, 2:1-29; John 14:2-3)
What about salvation?
Salvation is a free gift from God. It cannot be achieved through good works or self-improvement, but rather those things are a result of salvation, because the death of Jesus Christ on the cross is the only sufficient payment for our sins. All people have sinned, but all people can be saved.
(John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:24-28; Acts 2:39; Romans 3:23)
Salvation from sin is available to all who obey the teachings of Jesus Christ. Those teachings about salvation include:
-
Believing in Christ's power to save (Acts 16:31-33; Galatians 3:2)
-
Confessing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (Romans 10:9-10)
-
Repenting of one's sins (Luke 13:3; Acts 2:38: 3:19; 17:30)
-
Participating in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ through baptism (Romans 6:3-4, Matthew 3:13-15)
-
Receiving forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit at baptism (Matthew 3:16-17, Acts 2:38; Galatians 3:26-29; Titus 3:3-7; 1 Peter 3:21)
-
Living faithfully by God's standards (Romans 14:7-8; Ephesians 4:1; 2 Peter 3:11; 1 John 2:24-25)
Is the Bible more than just a book?
The Bible is the inspired word of God and is our authority in life and doctrine. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit and is without error. When read in the correct context, it reveals God's character, our purpose, and life's meaning. The Bible's principles are true for all people, for all places, and for all times.
(Psalm 119:105; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Proverbs 30:5; 2 Peter 1:20-21; John 20:30-31)
What is the importance of the Church?
Jesus Christ established His church for the purpose of spreading His message of hope through word and deed and encouraging Christians to persevere in their faith. God adds us to the church at baptism. Every member is a minister and every Christian is encouraged to find a place of service in the local congregation. Each congregation of Christ's church is an expression of the Church universal. We are called to be the Church; just as God is community, so we are called to be in God's community on Earth, which is the Church.
(Matthew 16:18; 28:19-20; Ephesians 4:1-16; 5:25-30; Colossians 1:18,24; Acts 2:41-47; Romans 12:3-8; I Peter 2:9)
