About Southland Baptist Church
Southland Baptist Child Development Center
Southland Baptist Child Development Center has served the San Angelo community since 2017, offering a faith-based environment for infants, toddlers, and pre-kindergarten children. Operating within Southland Baptist Church, the program emphasizes spiritual and developmental growth through a structured weekday schedule. The center provides options for two-day or four-day attendance, catering to families seeking a part-time early childhood education experience. Under the direction of Melissa Hasty, the program utilizes church-based classrooms and a dedicated 'Kid's Zone' for activities. The curriculum is designed to nurture young children in a welcoming, community-focused setting. Families benefit from a Monday through Thursday schedule with a 9:00 AM start, alongside an optional early care beginning at 8:00 AM. The center maintains a focus on mission-led education, aligning with the church's broader values of spiritual maturity and community service.

GriefShare meets here. Extremely friendly.
Warm and welcoming church. Spreading the word of God and briniging people to Christ. Felt home there and was just visiting!
Friendly church. Good Bible teaching. Traditional music at 9 am, Praise & Worship at 11 am
The funeral was personal and was a celebration of life. Well done Kim.
I have been a member of Southland Baptist for over 30 years. The growth has been steady and sure, the focus on missions growing exponentially. The fellowship is mostly sweet and the welcome extended to all is exceptional.
