Southminster Reads

Each summer the Adult Education program suggests a book for the entire congregation to read. In the early fall, we devote a worship service to discussing the book as a congregation. This summer, Southminster will be reading the book, Why Religion, A Personal Story by Elaine Pagels. More >>>

Family Promise Week

If you are looking for a way to get involved with the community, this is the perfect chance. During Family Promise week, Southminster hosts a family in need and provides a meal and a safe place to sleep. We need volunteers to cook/serve dinner and stay overnight.
