Helping to care

At Midtown 12 South, we long to be a church family where every person feels seen, known, and cared for.

We believe that life is both beautiful and broken — that seasons of joy often mingle with sorrow, loss, and struggle. In the midst of it all, we want our community to reflect the heart of Jesus by walking alongside one another with compassion, presence, and grace.

Creating a culture of care means fostering meaningful relationships, offering support in times of need, and reminding one another that we don’t have to walk alone. Through the leadership of our Director of Care and the partnership of our elders and our staff, we seek to build a church where care is not just a ministry, but a way of life together.

Our philosophy

Creating a culture of care at 12 South through the ministry of showing up.

Recovery Groups

One of the unique ways that we provide care at Midtown 12 South is through Recovery Groups.

Recovery Groups provide a safe, supportive space to be honest about what’s going on and to experience the healing power of being truly known and accepted. These groups aren’t a Bible study or a 12-Step program — instead, they combine open sharing, book discussion, and space to process stories. Recovery Groups typically form in the fall and end in the spring.
