What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
This is a good place with some lovable people. If you are hurting, need advice, want a friend, or are simply looking for some grace, the people of Southmont have plenty to give. This church is not perfect by any means, but we rely on God and grow together as a family. Sunday School starts at 9:15 and my class is currently doing a New Testament survey. The Worship service starts at 10:45 with singing followed by a sermon. My small group also meets on Sunday nights for further study. If you want to grow and be motivated (growtivation), come join!
I've been a member for almost 5 years. I joined the first-day I attended because it met all the needs that I wanted. A wonderful pastor, a wonderful musical program and most important people that God's love is on their faces as they welcome you into their house of worship. And after all this time, they have not changed. This is my home church Iand I invite you in to receive the same love I have, come to see us.🥰
My wife and moved from SoCal to be near our oldest daughter's wonderful family as we are getting up in years. Southmont has been a good place for us to find a church home. The lead pastor is both an excellent bible teacher but also a caring pastor. That seems to be a rare find. We have also connected with an Adult Fellowhip group and want to see how God wants us to serve. Check out Southmont!
Large and spacious church. It was a beautiful place to photograph a wedding.
A living God fearing Bible based church. Where you can find a great church home were there is a lot of different way to serve God. The people are very friendly and nice. I am so excited I was able to go. If you are looking for a good church home Southmont Baptist is the one you want.
Web Report
Aggregated insights from public records & parent discussions
Safety Record
Southmont Baptist Church operates a licensed child care center (Operation #1645964) with a capacity of 85 children. Historical safety concerns include a 2006 out-of-court settlement involving the church's founding pastor, Larry Reynolds, who was accused of sexual abuse of a minor beginning in the 1980s. No recent news reports of incidents, closures, or legal issues related to the current childcare operations were found.
Parent Reputation
The childcare program has very few public reviews, with major platforms like Google, Yelp, and Winnie showing no specific parent ratings for the after-school services. Church-wide sentiment is generally positive regarding community events like the live nativity and Sunday school programs. A single employee review on Indeed provides a 5.0 rating but lacks detailed qualitative feedback.
Staff Insights
The children's ministry is directed by Kristi Colton, who has over 21 years of experience in preschool and children's ministry. While a 5.0 rating from a childcare worker was found on Indeed, there is insufficient data to establish trends regarding employee turnover or management culture.
