Many attenders choose to utilize the free parking on S. Calhoun St. or Hollins St.

Our church building houses our sanctuary, offices, downstairs multipurpose hall, children’s classes, and nursery.

If you’re entering the church building, the sanctuary is up the main steps, and the multipurpose hall is through the door on the right.

There are no assigned seats in the auditorium, so sit wherever you feel most comfortable!

At Southwest, you will find both classic hymns and some of the latest worship songs. We believe that God’s work in the past is worth remembering and retelling, but that He isn’t done working and stirring new songs of praise in the hearts (and instruments) of His people.

Our music is intentionally people-focused, so you won’t have to worry about having earplugs in or standing through three-minute guitar solos.

At Southwest, we believe that the Bible is essential and central to our gatherings. The sermons that are preached here are reflective of that belief, so every sermon you hear is drawn directly from a passage of scripture, with the goal of saying the same thing God said, in the way that He said it. We most often use “expository” sermons (which work verse by verse, chapter by chapter through one book of the Bible) in our preaching ministry.

The preaching of Southwest seeks to practically apply God’s wisdom to your everyday life. The Bible has the answers you’ve been looking for, and it’s essential for your journey through life.

After you attend a service, what happens next? In the service, you’ll be invited to fill out a connection card with any information you feel comfortable sharing. Our church uses this information to help inform us about how we can best serve you through our ministries. We promise, we won’t harass you or send daily emails or texts, we’ll simply send occasional notices about upcoming opportunities that could be helpful for you in your life stage! And, you can opt out easily at any time.

We have regular Membership meetings, where those new to Southwest or faith in Christ are encouraged to come and hear about the ways God has designed His church to work, and how we seek to accomplish that mission at Southwest!
