SENIOR PASTOR

Dear LifeSpring Family,

My heart is overflowing—not because I’m unaware of the challenges and brokenness in our world, but because when my eyes are fixed on Christ, I see immeasurable hope and boundless love.

I’m also pumped by what God is doing in our church right now. We are seeing a growing hunger and commitment to seek Him, reflected in more people exploring faith, deeper devotion to prayer and God’s Word, greater generosity, and intentional disciple-making relationships.

Our focus for the year has been “God’s Heart for the Lost and Broken.” Slowly, almost imperceptibly like yeast, God is stirring a greater missionary burden in our hearts—a burden our hurting and divided country desperately needs.

As you take a moment to explore this year’s Annual Impact Report, relish how your time, prayers, energy, and generosity is doing something great to expand the Kingdom of King Jesus. 

Beyond just LifeSpring, there is a noteworthy movement of the Spirit in the area: lead pastors from eight area churches are now meeting regularly in prayerful unity, seeking God for a more coordinated Gospel saturation effort. This is poised to transform our community in powerful ways.

As we step into 2026, let’s continue to seek God’s heart for the lost and broken. Let us “rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and be constant in prayer” (Romans 12:12).

Thank you for being part of this church family. Together, we are not only finding the strength to weather life’s storms, we are partnering with God to rebuild and restore a broken world.

They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations. - Isaiah 61:4

With gratitude and anticipation for all that’s ahead,

Pastor Jeff

P.S. I’ve served here with LifeSpring for almost 20 years now, and I have never been more convinced our church is heading in the right direction with the right vision, strategy, priorities, leadership, and growing engagement. I love you guys and I am excited to continue to move forward together.
