If your child is in need, you will be notified using the LCD screens next to the sermon screens in the sanctuary. Our team promises to provide a safe and clean environment for your child to have fun and grow spiritually.
180 Volunteers Needed for birth-6th grade, 1 time per month 2019-2020 We need 108 volunteers to serve a total of 6 times each in 2018. Please reach out to Dan and Brittany Pound if you would like to fill one of our volunteer positions.
Volunteers have a variety of ways to pick up the call to raise a generation for the kingdom. They can serve in a classroom, donate snacks, greet both parents and children, teach, read, play, serve snacks, play music or act out Bible skits.
Jesus couldn’t help but immerse Himself in the lives of children, as seen in Matthew 19:14. “Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these,’” and we embrace the call of God to love His children and raise them up to know, experience and love God.
For my Teens
Our student ministry is for both middle school and high school students Check out the details on our programs and groups below.
But first, here are a couple of FAQ’s that might help.
What about 6th graders?
Sixth graders can participate in our children’s ministry or our middle school ministry or a customization of both. We are careful to teach our young teens without introducing them to “new topics” that may make it uncomfortable to parents.

Accept Christ
There’s no special formula or secret password to start a relationship with Christ. Most people simply start with a prayer of faith to God. Prayer is simply reflecting to God what we feel in our hearts.
Here is an example…
“God, I want a relationship with You. I realize my selfishness and sin have gotten in the way and separated me from You. I need forgiveness. I need a Savior. Thank you for sending Your Son, Jesus, to be my Savior. I believe He lived, died, and rose from the grave to forgive me and give me new life. I accept Christ. I place my trust in Him and I want to live for You. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for forgiving me.”
Be Baptized
In Matthew 28:19-20 Jesus lays out some very important truths about baptism. He tells us that baptism is an experience that an individual has once they have committed their life to Christ and have become one of His disciples. Those who have become a disciple of Jesus Christ are instructed to be baptized.
The word baptize itself means to “immerse” or to “place into.”
We believe baptism as an immersion into water is a way of stating, “I am a follower of Jesus Christ.”
We have a baptism service (during regular Worship Services) the third weekend of every month. To get baptized at Spring Hills, speak with a pastor prior to one of our baptism services or fill out the Baptism Information Form below:
Find a Mentor
An important step in starting a relationship with Christ is finding a spiritual mentor who can provide the encouragement and support you need to grow in a relationship with Christ. We would like to help. We have discipleship mentors to help you walk with Jesus. We also have general life mentors to help with life’s challenges, and we have marriage mentors to help couples.
attend our connection class
What is the Spring Hills Connection Class?
Our Spring Hills Connection Class meets the first Sunday of every month and provides a way to learn about our story, what we believe, and our values. People learn about groups, how to get connected, how to discover their gifts, where to serve, and membership. The class provides a way for us to gather around our vision of Building Generations for Jesus Christ. Childcare is provided.

join a community group
What are Community Groups
Community groups are followers of Jesus living the life of Jesus together in community. Community groups help you pursue spiritual growth, healthy relationships and the mission of Jesus.

Many of our community groups are now meeting online via Zoom and other online platforms. Sign up to join a community group and one of our Coaches will contact you with more details and to help you join a group.

What if I’m not ready to join a Community Group?
We believe the best place to experience community the way Jesus modeled it is in a Community Group. If you aren't quite ready for a Community Group, we'd like to encourage you to take a step toward community. Check out some of the age related groups, support groups, and serving opportunities you might consider on our Ministries page.
