Chris "Suds" Southard

I’m Christopher Southard and I am dedicated to cultivating spiritual friendships, nurturing discipleship, and forging meaningful connections. My journey in ministry has been about more than just leading; it’s been about building deep, transformative relationships.

From my early days as a Youth Director to my current role as Associate Pastor at First Presbyterian Church in North Palm Beach, FL, I’ve prioritized initiatives that foster spiritual growth and community. Whether through innovative programs like “Sworn Adventures” and “Front Yard BBQ,” or founding organizations like the Sworn Foundation, my focus has always been on creating spaces where people can connect authentically, grow spiritually, and support each other in their faith journeys.

Beyond the church walls, I’ve extended this commitment by founding sports programs like the Palm Beach Atlantic University Men’s Lacrosse team and initiatives like the Creator’s Game, using sports as a platform to build relationships and share the message of faith to underserved communities.

My story is one of passion for building bridges, fostering spiritual growth, and creating spaces where meaningful connections can thrive, transforming lives along the way.
