I want to extend greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is because of His great love and mercy for us that we gather together in worship and fellowship at the Springfield Church of the Brethren.
Please allow me to tell you a little bit about myself and the Springfield Congregation. I began my pastoral ministry at Springfield in June of 2006. However, I was called to the ministry in 1992 at the Pocahontas Congregation of the Church of the Brethren, which is located in the mountains of West Virginia. I also completed my educational requirements for ordination and was ordained in 2000. I continued to serve with the Pocahontas Congregation until God called me to Springfield.
The Springfield Congregation was organized in 1866. It started in a little one-room stone building that has since expanded and been remodeled to become our present church building. It is exciting to know that God has been working in the lives of people at this church for over 140 years.
Here at Springfield, we believe that the Bible is the true, inspired Word of God that has the power to change people's lives. We also believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that the only way salvation is found is by accepting Christ as Savior. While we are not perfect, we strive to be faithful to what the Bible teaches and share the love of Christ with each other and with the surrounding community.
If you are looking for a church family, I want to invite you to come and join us for worship and fellowship. If you have any questions, you may contact me and I will be happy to talk with you.
Thanks for taking the time to look at our website, and I pray that God blesses you this day.
- Pastor David Grimes
