Southview Baptist Church

What Southview Baptist Church does

Southview Baptist Church is an independent, contemporary Gospel-centered Southern Baptist congregation operating from a single campus at 4089 Elk Road in Hope Mills, North Carolina, across from South View High and Middle Schools. The church serves a multi-generational membership spanning nursery through senior adults, with structured ministries for children (Director of Children's Ministries Emilie Sellers), middle and high school students (Associate Pastor to Students Matthew Ferri), adults (Journey Groups and Growth Groups), women, men, and seniors (55+). Its ministry portfolio also includes a First Impressions volunteer team, Face-to-Faith Homeless Ministry, Military/Veterans/First Responders Ministry, Disaster Response, international/national missions, Threads of Love, and the Crown of Thorns Motorcycle Ministry, reflecting an explicit focus on both local outreach and global missions.

Sunday worship is offered at 9:30 and 11:00 a.m., with a Wednesday evening program block running children's, youth, and adult small groups concurrently. The church extends reach beyond its physical campus via online streaming on YouTube and sermon.net, a text-to-engage keyword system, and a members portal. The technology stack is built entirely on third-party, off-the-shelf SaaS: CCB Church for church management, Pushpay for online giving, sermon.net and YouTube for sermon delivery, and Zoom for virtual meetings. There are no proprietary technology products, mobile apps, AI/ML capabilities, or data-driven products.

Operationally, the church is led by Senior Pastor Kris Calhoun and a staff team of approximately nine, including pastors, ministry directors, coordinators, and administrative assistants. The organization is funded exclusively through voluntary tithes and offerings collected in person and via the Pushpay online giving platform, with no pricing for worship services or programs. Southview Baptist Church operates as a religious nonprofit organization and does not have a parent company, subsidiaries, public listing, or external investors.
