What happens when the Lighthouse meets Sovereign Grace?

Somebody ends up getting blessed--that's what happens!

The Lord gave us a vision, several years ago to see South Side Mission, or a satellite office of the Mission located on the north, south, east, and west sides of zip code 61605. This way, people in need in our beloved 61605 can be within walking distance of the Mission or one of our ministry sites. We want to eliminate transportation as a barrier to the Gospel and to getting something like a food basket or a warm coat.

Our latest satellite office will be at the corner of DuSable and Martin on the north side of the South Side, if that makes sense to you. It will be inside the new Sovereign Grace Missionary Baptist Church. Our friends at Sovereign Grace Missionary Baptist will be renovating the old Lee Auditorium and were kind enough to reserve a spot for a South Side Mission satellite office in the rear of the church.

We returned the favor by applying our Hope Builders resources to their project, providing much skilled labor at no cost to the church and, in the process, helping to carve out what will be a beautiful new sanctuary. God is good!

Satellite Offices of South Side Mission can be found in the Harrison Homes and RiverWest housing projects and offer free food baskets, clothing, after-school tutoring, substance abuse support groups, Bible studies, community outreach picnics and more.
