Kevin Groben

Senior Minister

I am blessed to have my wife (Teresa) and our two beautiful girls (Diana and Emilia) in my life. I enjoy hanging out with my daughters, playing games, and relaxing with my wife. I am an avid Bears fan, Star Wars fanatic, and I enjoy playing video games. My greatest desire is to live my life for God's will. Each day is a new adventure learning to live in a way that pleases Him. I am pleased to serve a God who works through my sin and brokenness to build me up in Christ and has given me the ministry to assist others in this endeavor. Moreover, I love to to read, study, and teach God's word because through it He speaks to us, calling us into his presence.

John Helton

Associate Minister

I currently serve as the Associate Minister here at South Side. I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio where I attended Cincinnati Christian University and graduated with a BS in Youth & Children's Ministry. When not at work, I spend my time in Chicago, watching Netflix, or watching sports. I am most passionate about the Cincinnati Reds, superheroes, food, and youth ministry. My goal for my ministry is to partner with families in leading their kids to Christ, and to show them God's unchanging love during their often trying teenage years. I hope to see you this Sunday at 10:30!

I have been the Office Manager since 1998. My job is a busy one but I so enjoy being here at South Side and look forward to many more years of service. I am an active member of the Christian Friendship Class, Wednesday Bible Study and the Kara Ladies Group. When I am not here at church you can usually find me playing with my three beautiful grandchildren.
