South Fellowship Church
by South Fellowship Church
At South Fellowship Church, we believe we are changed when we encounter Jesus. Each week, we teach through a passage of Scripture, asking Him what He wants us to learn and how He is calling us to live in His way with His heart. Our sermons invite people from all backgrounds and spiritual levels to grow in Christlikeness and follow His example—because that is ultimately what the world needs.Want to dive deeper? Check out Red Couch Theology! Recorded live on YouTube every Thursday at 11am, this podcast unpacks Sunday’s teaching through casual, insightful discussions with Pastors Alex, Aaron, and occasional guests.Based in Littleton, CO.
