Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” – Matthew 28:19-20
Our desire is to become disciples who Love The Lord, Love One Another and Serve The World. But it’s not just about us.
We want to become disciples so we can go out and make disciples by serving the world.
We believe God has strategically placed us in the Springfield area to be the light of the world. Following the words of Deuteronomy 5:11: I command you to be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land; we partner with seven local organizations.
How do we help?
- Organize community service opportunities with our Springfield partners.
- Guide you towards community service that matches your gifts and passion.
- Introduce you to people who are already serving.
We invite you to explore the information about our Springfield partners and specific ways to get involved.

Serve a Meal at the Contact Ministries or Salvation Army Shelter
Pick a month and sign your group up to serve a meal. At Contact Ministries it only takes 4 to 5 adults, and kids are welcome. At the Salvation Army, join regular volunteers as they serve. The Contact Ministries Meal is on the first Tuesday of every month and the Salvation Army meal is on the third Wednesday of every month. In both cases, you can serve a meal that has already been prepared, or your group could choose to prepare the meal yourselves.
