Love God Deeply, Love People Genuinely, Make Disciples Continuously
A Family of Families
At Southwest, we are a family of families, rooted in the belief that discipleship begins at home. We see the home as the primary place where faith is lived out and passed on to the next generation. Additionally, and following the biblical model in the book of Titus, we encourage older men to invest in the lives of younger men, and older women to guide and mentor younger women, to help each other grow in faith and character. Together, we create a community where discipleship is woven in the fabric of everyday life, building strong, Christ-centered relationships.
