Sign up for GoLove - Option 1
What is GoLove? GoLove is a LOCAL MISSIONS movement for High School Students and Young Adults, reoccurring every year during spring break. We don’t need to travel somewhere else in order to embrace the mission’s mindset, we can be missionaries right here at home! Together we can embrace the call to go love our neighbors, our schools and workplaces, and our community. This is GoLove.
When is GoLove? GoLove reoccurs each year during spring break. This is strategic, as it allows for those in school to join, as well as anyone else who is interested. This year GoLove runs from Monday, March 28th to Friday, April 1st. We will be kicking things off on Sunday, March 27th with a Worship & Commissioning Night (AKA, RxP).
What does GoLove look like? Each day of the GoLove week has a specific focus. These focuses are there to help us think about how to intentionally share the love of Jesus in different settings. The following is a breakdown of each day:
Monday: Go Love Your Neighbor (like the one next door…)
Tuesday: Go Love People (like the ones out in your community…)
Wednesday: Go Love Your School and/or Workplace (pretty self-explanatory…)
Thursday: Go Love Your Community (serving our town through acts of service…)
In order to engage as many people as possible in GoLove, we are creating TWO OPTIONS for people to participate. Read the following options to see what suits you best.
Option 1: GoLove Intensive: For those who feel called to join us in a more structured way, we will be offering the GoLove Intensive. This requires a higher level of commitment as it means setting aside a portion of each day to dedicate to the mission (just like any mission’s trip). The intensive includes daily sessions, held at Southland, from 9-12pm. In these sessions we will dig into the focus for the day (as listed above) together as a tightknit group, as well as have daily worship, group discussion, prayer, and of course, community time to hang out with friends (and make a few new ones), drink coffee and even enjoy some good food! In order to join us for the GoLove Intensive, sign up is required as well as a small cost.

Option 2: GoLove For All: Perhaps you would like to embrace the mission’s mindset along with us this spring break, but you cannot join us for sessions during the day. That is NO PROBLEM! GoLove is for everyone, and we have options for you! Each day we will be releasing online content (available on our social media page, or on our YYA landing page on the church website) which will highlight how you can join in the fun. For example, on Monday we will release a video that provides ideas for how to love your neighbor, and so on and so forth. No sign-ups required to join in, simply participate as the Lord leads you! You may consider doing the evening challenges alone, or with a family member. Or perhaps you are in a small group – you could easily participate as a group as well! Important Note: with all this being said, Thursday evening (Go Love Your Community) will be a bit different. This is the one evening where we will be organizing a big community garbage clean up. For this event, we will be meeting together at Southland, and sending groups out to specific areas! If you are interested, please mark this in your calendar!
We were never meant to do life alone.
Small groups have always been the life-blood of the Southland Family. Small groups are more than just a social club or a Bible study, they're about the family of God loving and supporting each other, pursuing God and growing in faith together. We are all about relationships with people and their relationship with Christ, and we want to see people enjoying the benefits of church community. Shoot us an email if you’re interested in joining a cell group!
