In our Children’s Ministry (SC Kids), infants through 4th grade are welcomed into age-appropriate environments where they can learn about God’s love and how they can partner with Him in “Kingdom work.” Kids’ classes include teaching, worship, prayer, and fun activities. On the last Sunday of every month, preschoolers and older children stay in the main service for Family Worship. Secure check-in-and-out procedures are in place for all children.

Our Youth Ministry (SC Youth) provides a space for teens to grow in faith and community. On Sundays:

9th-12th graders attend the main worship service. Many also volunteer in worship arts or children’s ministry.
Weekly youth gatherings include:
Middle School: Wednesdays, 6:30–8:30 pm
High School: Thursdays, 6:30–9:00 pm
Community & Relationships
-
Kingdom Life Communities (KLCs) are smaller groups where people connect, grow, and serve together in everyday life. They meet every other week and focus on spiritual transformation, sacred friendships, and living out the Kingdom of God in practical ways. There’s no required membership—just a shared commitment to following Christ together. Many groups welcome children or offer childcare. To join, contact the church office to be connected with a nearby group.

Pastors Steve Brooks and Ron Gray started Springs Community Church together in 1985. Following the tragic deaths of their wives in the same car accident six years prior, they had received grief counseling together and formed a deep friendship. After many conversations, the extroverted dynamo and the practical administrator began to see themselves not as opposites, but as two halves of the same team. Mercifully, the accident that wrecked their lives brought them together to achieve their goal of starting a new church.
In 2007, Pastor Steve was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Realizing that he could not physically continue to lead SCC into the future, a search team was formed to seek his replacement. After interviews with numerous qualified candidates, Pastor Eric Carpenter became the lead pastor in April 2008.
