Campus Pastor

Welcome to the Lexington Campus! My wife and I started coming to Southland back in 2016, and I’ve been on staff now for 5 years. And I’ve got to tell you, standing in the middle of what God is doing here never gets old. Week after week, I get a front-row seat to watch people get hit by the grace train and seeing lives totally wrecked and transformed by the grace and truth of Jesus. I hope you'll join us for one of our services on Sunday!

School Mentoring
School Mentoring

One of our favorite ways we get to partner with local schools is through our mentoring program, where we pair students with adults who invest in them for 30 minutes each week at their school.

Could you spare 30 minutes a week to read with a young person, sit with them at lunch, or play on the playground? That small amount of time can make a huge difference in the life of a child!

Giving

When you give to Southland, you’re helping us reach the lost and the broken. Because of that, there’s a place for everyone here. Around here, that means we worship defiantly, speak truth unashamedly, and extend grace generously. From financial gifts to item donations, we couldn’t do what we do without your generosity.

Dollar Club
Dollar Club

We ask everyone who attends Southland to add one extra dollar to their weekly offering. It may not sound like much, but each week, those extra dollars from all five of our campuses get added together to bless an individual or family in a life-changing way. So thank you for your generosity—it's making a huge impact here at Southland and in the community!

Baptism
Baptism

Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others we have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation. Jesus was baptized when He was on Earth, and we do this to follow His example. When Christians are baptized, they are submerged under water to identify with the death and burial of Jesus and raised out of the water to identify with His resurrection.

Our After-School Program provides a safe environment where middle and high school students can go at the end of their school day to socially connect, mentally engage, physically train, emotionally heal, and spiritually grow.

DIRECTIONS

  • Our attendees come in everything from shorts and flip flops to dresses and slacks - so come in whatever you're comfortable wearing!

  • We look forward to welcoming you to our Nicholasville Campus. We know that visiting any place for the first time can be stressful, so we wanted to share some great tips for making your first Sunday at Southland as smooth as possible. 

    Let us know you are coming - This will save you a step when you arrive and be even more helpful if you are planning for your children to attend our Kids Ministry. You can do that by filling out a Plan Your Visit Form.

    Look for the green - Look for our green signs & cones for our New Here parking. There you’ll find the best parking spots available. You’ll know you have arrived when you see our green flag.

    Leave the rest to us - Our amazing Connections and New Here volunteers will be waiting to greet and host you as you arrive. They will answer any questions you have, show you where to go, make sure you get some coffee and donuts, help get your kids registered and checked in, show you where to go for our service, and they’ll even give you a free shirt for joining us.

  • Parents must check in their kids before service. Once your child is registered for the first time, simply enter your phone number into one of the self-service or assisted kiosks to receive your child's name tag. You will receive a matching pick-up receipt which will be required to pick your child up after service.

    On Wednesday nights Middle School and High School students are able to check themselves into Southland Students using the self-service kiosks.
