We are a diverse family of Christ followers, deeply rooted in our identity, who walk confidently in our God-given gifts and share the love of Jesus wherever we go. We are dedicated to scripture, worship passionately, embrace our freedom, believe in and contend for miracles, and strive to unite the Church as Jesus prayed in John 17.
MEET OUR PASTORS
PASTORS MARK + LEEANN RAMPULLA
Mark and LeeAnn Rampulla are the founders and senior pastors of Southview Church. What began in 2008 as a small gathering of six families in their living room is now a growing and diverse multi-generational family of believers committed to walking in freedom, unifying the Church, worshipping boldly, and sharing the love of Jesus. Family is at the heart of Pastor Mark and LeeAnn’s ministry—both in their personal faith journey as parents of 10 children, but also as spiritual parents in helping to equip the next generation. They share a passion and calling to proclaim freedom and joy in the Lord, build community, and raise up godly leaders. Mark and LeeAnn grew up in the church together and have been married since 1999.
SENIOR PASTORS
PASTOR JOSH + YVONNE CLENDENEN
Pastor Josh and Yvonne moved to middle Tennessee in 2007 and have been attending Southview since 2016. Josh is originally from Hammond, Indiana, but grew up in Seattle; Yvonne was born in Los Alamitos, California, but grew up in West Jordan, Utah. The two met while while stationed at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, where they were serving tours of duty with the US Air Force Thunderbirds. Their heart for service translated easily to serve at Southview in nearly every department, including leading local outreach and international mission trips, as well as establishing and overseeing the church security team. Josh joined the Southview staff in January 2021. The couple lives in Spring Hill and has five children, Noah Mae, Aiden, Isabel, Solomon, and Willow Grace.
EXECUTIVE PASTOR
PASTOR RAFAEL + MIA SARACUAL
Pastor Rafael and Mia Saracual have a passion to see people saved and set free through a revelation of Jesus Christ. Rafael is from Venezuela, while Mia grew up in both the United States and Sicily, Italy. They met in Nashville, TN, and married in 2007. Now living in Spring Hill, TN, they are raising three children: Santiago, Nina and Sebastian. Their heart for ministry spans several years and areas, including worship, songwriting, Christian television, global evangelism and more.
Pastor Rafael is also an author who shares his human trafficking testimony as a tool to preach the Gospel and bring many to the feet of Jesus with a message of forgiveness, healing and restoration. After nearly a decade of pastoring a Spanish-speaking church in Franklin, TN, Rafael and Mia realized that God was calling them to a greater outreach—one even more diverse and multi-cultural. Now, their Spanish speaking congregation has merged with Southview Church!

OUR STORY
This community of believers started out in Mark and LeeAnn Rampulla’s living room in the summer of 2008. They gathered together with six other families to pray and seek God about starting a church family in their city of Spring Hill.
The gatherings shifted in September of 2008 with a once a month meeting ("Preview Services", as we liked to call them) just to test the waters and see if people would attend. And they did. In the last month of 2008, the facility at 3011 Harrah Drive became available. This started the “faith journey” that has permeated throughout the history of SVC...
“God leads. We respond.
He provides.”
In January 2009, our official weekly Sunday services started and Southview Church was born. Since then many families have been added to the original six couples. Suites have been added, restructured and reorganized to best fit the function of our growing community. People, different ages and cultures, started doing life together with each other outside the four walls. Healings, salvations and freedom started taking place. Multiple services were created. All the while, Holy Spirit continues to provide and build this family into the Church we are today, reminding us that WE ARE THE CHURCH not the building we meet in.
In the fall of 2018, Southview was GIVEN 13 acres of prime real estate at the intersection of Rt 31 and Goose Creek bypass (right off of 840). We are excited to take the heartbeat of our family to a building custom made for the needs of our growing and healthy church. Stay tuned as our story continues…
In 2017 we unveiled our updated logo to feature the "sound wave". The prophetic word for our community has been, and continues to be, written around the "sound" God has for us.
What is His "sound"? What is God speaking to His people? What is His song for our community? In Music City, what is God's song and His word for us?
We at Southview have made it our pursuit to listen to the sound of God. Just as the ancient scriptures have stated to us, God is always speaking. Whether through a song, a vision, a dream, a still small voice or even a burning bush, God finds creative and sometimes simple ways to speak. The real question is, are we quiet enough to hear Him?
This sound wave in our logo is actually someone saying "I Love You". We believe the greatest thing we can say or sing is the love of God. And in return our Father speaks His love over us. This is what we all long for. This is what our ears have been created to hear. This is why we exist. To hear His sound. To hear I LOVE YOU.
