Congregation

12 South

We were made to love the 12 South neighborhood.

Join us at 12 Avenue South on Sundays at 9am, 11am, and 5pm. We also have a 10am Sunday service hosted at Waverly-Belmont Elementary.

Since 2008, we have been worshiping on the corner of 12th and Beechwood, as the first church plant of Midtown Fellowship.

What Sundays are like
Dropdown icon

When you attend a service at Midtown 12 South, you can expect authentic worship, unifying liturgy, and a Bible message to challenge you in the moment and hopefully the week ahead, along with opportunities to connect in community. We desire for each Sunday service to be a place where we can bring all that we are experiencing in life–good, bad, sorrowful, joyful–before God, to be met by him as we worship together.

Parking information

At Midtown 12 South, parking can be found in either the lot connected to the church building or in the “valet lot” across Beechwood Avenue from the building (you do not need to pay to park in either of these lots). Further parking is available on the side streets around the Midtown 12 South building. We ask that you be mindful of our neighbors and not park in residential handicapped spaces or block driveways.

At our Waverly-Belmont Elementary location, there is parking available in a few places: in the parking lot above the basketball courts, in the parking spots in the front and on the side of the school, in the school driveway, or on the street.

Kidtown and youth

At Midtown 12 South, Kidtown (our children’s ministry) is located on the 1st floor of the two-story building. The easiest entry to Kidtown is through the red door near the playground or the parking lot side red door, both of which lead directly to the Kidtown space. Youth information can be found here.

At Waverly-Belmont Elementary, follow the signs on the 2nd floor of the building to ensure children are checked into Kidtown.
