"Put us where you want us, and show us what to do."

We’re Glad You’re Here

South Presbyterian Church is a collection of organic, grass-roots ministries called Acts of Faith that meet where people are and share the joy of God’s all-inclusive love. Jesus said, “Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in [my] way of life” (Mt. 28:19, The Message). We believe that when people of faith are in the world, others “bump up against Jesus” through them. The Acts of Faith Model is an adaptation of the 1st century church where everybody took care of each other in the community, without a centralized location, for the 21st century.
And so it is that we pray:

“Put us where you want us, and Show us what to do.”

Reflections on El Paso and Dayton

Beloved Community, As we continue to grieve over last weekend’s violence, crying out “How long, O Lord, how long?” it is good to remember that the God we worship can not be defeated by human violence, by anger and rage and ‘isms’ that do not represent the love God pours out abundantly on God’s people.  As the death toll mounts in El…
