Southgate House Springs

A group of believers from Southgate Crestwood that live in the southwest part of the St. Louis metro area were meeting, praying over the region, and seeking the Lord together. God gave them a unique vision to reach their area with the gospel. After praying together, along with the elders, for a couple of years, they felt the green light to begin acting on their new vision of what the church should be, rooted in the biblical pattern of meeting together "from house to house". On Sunday, February 8th, 2020, we commissioned and launched this new church plant, Southgate House Springs.

On Thursday Nights they have their gathering of the entire Southgate House Springs Community. This is a believer's meeting with the emphasis on worship and the teaching of the word.

And then on Sunday Mornings people gather in homes. There is a significant level of intimacy and growth in relationships when you meet in smaller groups. You have the opportunity to sharpen and challenge one another in the understanding and application of the Word of God.

Thursday Night Meetings run from:

Sunday Morning meetings run from: 9:30am - 11:30am

Just as in the early Church, the focus is the message of Jesus. The goal of discipleship is to become like Christ, so they focus on Jesus' life and message. The Leadership team develop the lessons for the Thursday night meetings. Each week the lesson is available in an outline form. These lessons and outlines are the anchor for the Sunday morning house groups.

Children are taught the same message as the adults, but on their own level.

In the house groups, the meetings open up with coffee & fellowship. Each week there is worship, communion, a significant time of prayer in small groups, reading of the word, followed by a time of discussion and application from the lesson and outline from the Thursday gathering. Taking time to thoroughly discuss and figure out our understanding of the text and lesson is a vital part of the small group meetings. As well as applying the word of God to your life.
