A Family Born of the Heart
The idea of family is inseparable from Christianity. Scripture calls us sons and daughters
of God, brothers and sisters in Christ. External differences fade when believers join
together as the family of God. Likewise, the Brass family may not look like a typical
family, but love binds them together. Formed through prayer and following God’s leading,
the Brass family demonstrates that family isn’t only about blood relations. It’s about
celebrating the good times and facing challenges together. It’s about love.
The Kirabo Foundation has a special place in the Brass family's hearts. To learn more, visit KiraboKids.org.
Matt Brass is a talented artist. To view more of his work, visit MattBrass.com.
Music: a Connecting Thread
Music transcends language, age, occupation, income, and gender. It breaks down barriers
and stirs souls. The School of Music at Southern empowers music majors and minors
to achieve excellence, while bringing together students from all areas of campus in
its performance groups. Through these opportunities, thousands of Southern alumni
have embarked on their careers better equipped for life.
Generosity for Future Generations
Thousands of scholarships have been awarded to students at Southern throughout its
127-year history, and many of those students have literally depended on the generosity
of others in order to continue their education. Behind the generous contributions,
however, are numerous touching stories.
