About Southbridge

We are passionate about connecting people to Jesus for life change. This passion motivates us to pursue encounters with the living God, equip one another to love and serve, and to engage our world for Jesus. We desire for every person in the Raleigh-Durham area to have an opportunity to respond to the message of Jesus Christ. We believe the church is the primary vehicle to carry out the mission of Jesus and to redeem people back to Himself.

About Our Worship Ministry?

Worship at Southbridge is about us wanting to give Jesus praise and honor for who he is, what he has done, and what he will do in the future. It is about us spending time in his presence so that we can become more like him. While we will pursue to do things with excellence, we want to be known for how we love and follow Christ over our production value. With that in mind, we are searching for a creative, team builder to come alongside our church, invest in our production volunteers, and partner with our Worship Pastor to help us connect people to Jesus for life change.
