WORSHIP @ SOUTHSIDE
Worship Team
The Worship Ministry of Southside exists to create an environment of worship that helps as many people as possible take their next step toward Jesus Christ. We accomplish this through these core values: excellence, unity, and modeling worship as a lifestyle.
Worship Times
10:30 am Worship Service is led by our worship leader Kipp Gray. It is a service that integrates multiple styles of worship songs led by our band and praise team.
Worship is how we take a step back from the everyday routines and focus on what Jesus has done for us. Worship means different things for different people, so feel free to sing, listen, raise your hands, watch, or do it all. Our service seeks to connect people with a Living God, magnify the name of Jesus, and provide solid Biblical preaching.
How can I become part of the Worship Team?
The most important expectation of being on the worship team is the realization that our primary role is to help lead the congregation in worship. We are not “paid performers” and we aren’t doing a “weekly concert.” What do we do? We are a group of people willing to use the talents and abilities God has blessed us with to serve, honor, and worship HIM on a weekly basis. It’s not about ME or MY abilities or MY desire to be in the spotlight. It’s about using our talents to point to HIM.
If this describes you, requirements for being a part of the Southside Worship team:
- A one-on-one with Worship Leader Kipp Gray
- High school age and above
- (Vocalists) – Vocal Audition displaying ability to sing multiple styles of worship music
- (Instrumentalists) Musical competency on the instrument and the ability to play in multiple styles and in all keys

Southside Celebration Choir
The choir is designed to function as a larger worship ensemble that gives more energy and musical variety to our Worship Service. Kipp Gray leads our choir. Rehearsals are held weekly on Sunday afternoons from 4:15PM to 5:15PM and consist of vocal warm-ups/musical theory concept, song learning, and a time of growth as a group. The choir sings regularly on Sunday Mornings and participates in “Nights of Worship” throughout the year. No interview is required to be a member of this group; it isn’t even necessary to be able to read music. A love for singing or “making a joyful noise” is the only requirement.
