Southwest's Church of Christ Ministries
Some Of Our Ministries
Evangelism
Our goal is to preach the gospel of our lord and savior Jesus Christ to the world. In preaching, we fulfill God’s purpose and desire which is to have “all mankind to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth” 1 Timothy 2:4.
Community Outreach
Through this ministry, the goal is to ensure a presence in the community. We have established the Southwest Family Empowerment Center to serve the needs of the community and provides needed resources. The Southwest congregation and the family center provides many free informational, educational and/or outreach events. Some specific events may include door knocking, school supply drives, and other special collection drives. When efforts are planned for the community, various types of reading material (such as flyers, brochures, and fact sheets) is made available to inform/educate those in attendance of Christ and his salvation plan; who we are as a congregation; how they can learn more about the self paced Bible Correspondence Courses, and our upcoming events.
Audio/Media
The Audio Ministry records and make available digital media from live production of our Sunday school and worship service, Wednesday night Bible classes, and other sponsored events, as per request. This Ministry also ensures the audio system is working properly and maintains upgrades and other necessary improvements to bring about clear sound quality by way of our various listening mechanisms including onsite, internet live streaming, and CD recordings. The purpose of providing CD’s to individuals is to further promote the message of Christ to others by sharing His word. There is no fee for the CD’s, but donations are accepted. Through success of this ministry, live streaming via the Internet is available where anyone around the world with access to the World Wide Web can join us for Bible classes, worship service, and/or other events.
College Resources
The College Resource Ministry purposes to be a source of encouragement to our young members away attending college. Through the college resource ministry, we send care packages, special recognition cards, and provide emotional strength by encouraging our young people to stay focused on their goals and to keep Christ in their lives.
Education
The Education Department is designed to educate and empower the members of the Congregation to live a more Godly life by self-examination and awareness. The Southwest Church of Christ, Education Department supports our teachers by providing national certification training. We are a congregation that believes in salvation by education and we are blessed to have the teachers blessed the lives of our children, members and visitors of our worship services, Bible classes, and Bible studies.
Foreign Mission
Through our Foreign Mission Ministry, we provide financial and other support to Nepal, India, and Jamaica (through the Jamaica School of Preaching). Funds are often raised, donated to help spread the gospel to these areas. Southwest is a supporting member of Church of Christ Asian Missions, Inc. which is a non-profit started to teach online bible classes in Asia and to help support our sister congregations there.
Ladies
The Ladies Ministry is designed to include each sister in the Congregation in a meaningful manner that empowers the usage of their God given spiritual gifts. Through this Ministry, we strive to be a source of support and encouragement to our fellow sisters in the areas of healing from life’s heart aches, parenting, achieving spiritual maturity, and teaching women to learn more fulfilling spiritual service and how to possess a sense of wholeness in their service to God.
Southwest hold’s in-person ladies bible studies every second Sunday of the month.

Youth
The Youth Ministry works to foster a positive outlook about Christ and His teachings to our young people. Each year, our youth work collaboratively with the Ministry Lead to develop a full year schedule including relationship building excursions, educational activities, and service projects. The various events are designed to help our youth stay focused on living a Godly life. We also have about two services a year when the young men lead the worship service.
