Letter From The Pastors

Dear Southview Family,

What a year.

We are so thankful for what God has done in us and through us at Southview in 2025. More lives saved, baptized, changed, healed, and delivered. Through our Next Gen ministries, Freedom Center, Worship and Prayer, our Community Groups, and Marriage Ministry, the impact has been real and the fruit has been lasting.

This year, we stepped into a season of new beginnings. We partnered with our friends at Holy Saints to launch Saint Classical Academy — and it has already exploded in growth. We began releasing our bi-weekly Prayer Sets, launched the Southview Sports department, and started building new discipleship tracks within the Southview School of Equipping. It's been a year of digging deeper foundations: teaching, equipping, and building for what's ahead.

We also launched a new Outreach department with a heart to reach our local community with the gospel — and there are exciting things already planned for 2026 to do just that. Beyond our own neighborhood, we continue to invest in missions both locally and around the world, supporting trusted missionaries and organizations in Nepal, Mexico, Ukraine, and parts of Asia. And through our partnership with Conduit Mission, we have seen slaves set free. That's the Kingdom at work.

We also continue to pursue our mission to reach the Hispanic community through our 2:00 PM Spanish service. This year, we've seen a deeper development of leaders and a growing hunger for God in that community. It's been incredible to watch God move across every language and culture under this roof.

Speaking of Kingdom impact — our multi-church student camp, Pursuit Camp, continues to grow in ways we couldn't have imagined. Over the last ten years, we've helped build this camp from the ground up, and it has produced powerful, life-changed junior and senior high students year after year. More churches and more students are joining every year, and we're actually outgrowing our current location. That's a beautiful problem to have.

We also know that 2025 has been a year of transition and depth — and those two things don't always feel comfortable at the same time. So we want to say thank you. Thank you to those of you who have leaned in through membership, serving, and giving. This community is truly a family — and a beautifully diverse one. We loved seeing that unity on display at our annual Kingdom Cultural Celebration and in every gathering throughout the year. God is doing something special in our midst, and we don't take it for granted.

Now, 2026. It's already shaping up to be a year of growth and building — our new Young Adults ministry (Homestead) is launching, a wave of new Community Groups is on the way, fresh songs and prayers are coming out of our worship community, and our school and Next Gen ministries continue to grow. We believe the best is ahead.

Thank you for being part of this family.

With love & gratitude,

Mark & LeeAnn Rampulla
