ARTICLES AND UPDATES
Pastors’ Note: The Experience of Expressed Grace
Coming out of seminary, I was warned of the perils that my family was sure to face in church life. Many of these things we already have painful experience in from other places, so we felt prepared as we moved to Huntsville. Emily and I both know the reality of our life together. … [more]
Core Commitments: Dependence and Prayer
We recognize our deep dependence and need for prayer.
We are a community constantly dependent upon God both individually and corporately. In fact, this is a large part of what it means that we must continually experience grace ourselves. Our relationship with…

Praying for Jobs for Life
Prayer is the backbone of Jobs For Life. We mean that statement. We literally are powerless to minister effectively without the Holy Spirit. Our students face very real barriers to attending JfL classes, much less getting a job. Some of these barriers are their own mental hurdles, while… [more]

Session Update
The Session is excited to announce the call of Derrick Harris to be our Pastor of Shepherding and Young Families. Derrick has been in ministry for 17 years, many which he has spent focusing on youth and families, and he comes to Southwood from Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville.… [more]
All That Is Fair: Nobody Wants to Work for It
Everything happens so fast now, am I right? When I watch TV, commercials are 15 seconds. When I watch a Youtube video, I’m irritated if I can’t skip the ad at the beginning after 5 seconds. When I sit down at the computer, if the website I’m visiting takes more… [more]
Pastor’s Note
Lord, Teach Us to Pray
Have you ever told someone that you would pray for something and then completely neglected to do so? Me, too. I’m sure there are a variety of reasons this happens to us, including mere forgetfulness. But one of the reasons that…
