God never intended for anyone to go through life alone. One of the primary ways that we build relationships at Springfield First is through our Small Group Ministry, where we care and pray for one another, worship God, study and apply the Bible to our daily lives, and have fun together!
Groups listed below are meeting remotely unless otherwise noted.
