At Mission Southside there are many ways for you or your family to plug in and use your time, treasure or talent. Sign up to bring a group to one of our open serve nights and pack backsnacks, sort donations, deliver furniture or any of the many projects we have going on. Sign up for a service project like a neighborhood food blitz, toy drive, diaper drive, or blanket drive.

This heart of the partnership at the Millbrooke apartments is all about relationships! Our desire is to spend time and invest relationally with our friends and neighbors who live in this community, through consistent Bible studies for families and kids, time spent on the playground at Central Elementary, and a partnership with the school to strengthen reading and after school ministry in the neighborhood. We’d love to have you join us!
