First Presbyterian Church of Springfield, NJ

Enlist - About Us
We believe that Jesus Christ came into the world to reveal the fullness of God's love for us. And we celebrate that love as we receive the good news of God's grace through our praise and prayer, the gathering around table and font as we share in the holy sacraments, our mutual journey of faith and our commitment to the community.

Encourage - You are Welcome Here
Ours is a welcoming congregation. We invite you to join us, as you are. And we encourage you to take part in the wide range of ministry opportunities offered here. Whether you desire to connect with God in Christ through worship, study, prayer or service, we have something for you.

Engage - Your Spiritual Journey
Faith does not grow in a vacuum. Getting Engaged, Living Engaged and Staying Engaged are key to a joyful, gracious, generous and purposeful life. We would love to join with you in worship. And we invite you to share in our discipleship and mission programs, becoming a part of our faith community as we seek to meet and share Christ together.

Our Mission
Enlist disciples in the way of Jesus Christ | Encourage the people of God to grow in their faith | Engage the Kingdom of God in the world.

Join Us
If our Mission speaks to you, we hope you'll join us in making a difference--both in our community and in the world that we are all so blessed to share.

News & Events

Worship Online March 29th at 10:15am Zoom -- Meeting ID: 750 657 4871
Our worship has moved to an online format during the coronavirus crisis. We are using the conferencing app Zoom. This week, we will be telling the story of Ezekiel's vision of the Valley of Dry Bones. We will be singing "Dem, Bones" and sharing in communion--have a few crackers and a cup of juice with you at home. Special circumstances cause special responses.!
If you can't join us at 10:15am, you will be able to upload the worship video later that day on this website.
We trust in this good news: where two or three are gathered--physically or virtually--there is Christ among us. We appreciate your prayerful support as we work out the kinks!

In-House Worship Cancelled
Due to the quick progression of the COVID-19 virus in NJ and around the world, we have had to make changes to our "routine," just as you have. So, worship will be shared using online tools. Gatherings in-house are cancelled, including our mid-week Lenten Soup & Bread. But, with patient hearts, may we care for one another by working to protect our families, our neighbors, our community and the wider world from the ever-advancing pandemic.

Church Office is Closed
Our church offices are closed at present, although there will be someone staffing the phone, collecting mail and handling administrative and ministry tasks as they arise, M-F 9:00am to Noon. If you have a pastoral need, contact the church office by phone or email and a staff member will be in touch.

The Tower
We still plan to publish our monthly newsletter, The Tower. But we will be in more regular communication with our members and friends who are online. If you want to receive email communications from the church but are not on our current email list, please contact us and we will add your email address to our list.
