About us



HOW SPRINGFIELD BEGAN
We are a Converge Great Lake’s Church
We are a Bible-Believing, Bible-Teaching Church
Springfield Community Church was established on October 16, 2016. We started as a small group of about twenty individuals meeting in the back room of the former Bublitz’s Restaurant praying for the people and families in Lomira and the local communities to desire to want to learn more about God. We quickly outgrew this space and began hosting our Sunday services in the Commons of Lomira High School.
In March of 2020, we lost our space due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the closure of all public school buildings. Our prayers were quickly answered as we rented and then purchased the former Lomira Legion building, which we now call our Springfield Community Church home.
We chose the name “Springfield Community Church” because Lomira was once called “Springfield”. The first church in Springfield was a summer revival camp for students, which existed for 104 years. This church camp was devoted to prayer, worship, and teaching of the Word.
The Lord has laid on our hearts a vision to start a culturally relevant church in Lomira. There is no doubt in our minds and hearts that God has us where we need to be, and that the Lord has great work for us in Lomira. We, in faith, trust that God is going to build His church, and we are humbled to be called into the ministry to shepherd His people.
