We believe October 5th is a perfect evening for you to get to know the people who live right around you in a simple and non-threatening way.

Neighborhood Life is the skeleton on which everything we do at The Springs hangs. Whether you are looking for a place to belong, to grow, to serve or just to play, you will find that place in Neighborhood Life.

Most people begin by finding their local, neighborhood table group, but you can check out any of the four functions and jump in wherever you want.  If you want details on your group, please email us at church@the-springs.org.
