Sunday Worship is at 11:00 a.m. September through May. During June, July and August Sunday Worship is at 10:00 a.m. Southport Presbyterian Church is committed to encouraging participation in worship services by people of all ages, including serving as acolytes, reading scripture and sharing musical talents. We have a children’s message during worship and then children are dismissed for Sunday School. We have activity bags to keep the younger children busy until the children’s message. A bright, spacious activity area is available for babies and toddlers during Sunday worship. Children are cared for by member volunteers who have been through a background check through Safe Gatherings.

What to Expect

What are services like?
Services are usually blended — a mix of traditional elements (liturgy, hymns, Scripture reading, prayer) and some contemporary music. Rooted in Reformed tradition, focusing on God’s Word, grace, and Christ-centered preaching.

What is the community like?
Fellowship is a strong piece of worship. Many Presbyterian churches like Southport highlight being a “church family” where all are welcome. Coffee/fellowship time often follows worship.

What if I'm not a Christian?
You are welcome here. At Southport Presbyterian, we believe church should be a place where everyone can come as they are. Whether you’re curious about faith, exploring big questions, or simply looking for community, you’ll find a safe and welcoming space with us. Our doors are open to all—no prior experience required. 💙
