A Church Family in Springfield
Whether you have walked with God for decades or are stepping into a church for the first time, there is a seat saved for you here. Come as you are — leave encouraged.
Services every Sunday at 9:00 AM & 11:30 AM — childcare provided at both.
Welcome to SWPMinistry
Since 1994, SWPMinistry has been a home for neighbors of every age and background. We gather to worship, study Scripture together, and carry hope into the streets of our city — one meal, one visit, and one prayer at a time.
Every service, class, and small group starts from the Bible — taught plainly and applied to real life.
Over 40 small groups meet across the city each week, so no one has to walk through life alone.
From food pantries to school partnerships, we invest 20% of every gift directly into local outreach.
“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14
