Southminster Presbyterian Church

About this church

Southminster Presbyterian Church gathers in Dayton at 10:00 a.m. Sunday, both in person and by livestream. Worship pairs a biblical message connected to real life with a varied musical tradition that may include hymns, organ, choir, bells, and even puppets. Communion and prayer appear throughout the church year. Visitors may dress as they prefer, and the congregation describes itself as casual, welcoming, and inclusive—large enough to sustain substantial ministries but small enough for people to know one another.

Children begin in the sanctuary and come forward for a children's minute before leaving for Godly Play, Sermon 2.0, or the age-appropriate class scheduled that week. Nursery, children's, and youth ministries give families options beginning before the service, while summer worship includes more intergenerational learning. Mission is central to Southminster's self-understanding: its vision is to be the head, heart, and hands of Jesus, driven by love for both the church and the world beyond it. A campus map, directions, digital friendship pad, recorded services, and a full activities list make planning easier for someone visiting the Far Hills Avenue property for the first time.
