Springfield, MA 01119 i Definition & Purpose The Springfield Pictorial Christian Church Resource and Network Guide is a listing of Christian churches within the city limits of Springfield. Our intention is that that the Resource and Network Guide be used for building relationships between members of Springfield’s Christian community, for referrals, finding a church home, research in church planting, and other educational, relational or spiritual purposes. Scope The Guide is limited to Christian churches within the city limits of Springfield as of January 30, 2004. There are churches that identify with Springfield but are located outside city limits. These are not included. Churches of religions other than Christianity are not within the scope of the Guide. Two churches of Christian heritage within the city limits of Springfield requested to not be included in the guide; we honored their request. Guide Organization Churches in the Guide are grouped alphabetically. The book has numerous indices in the back that cross-reference the churches by denomination, ethnic identity, languages used in services, nationalities represented in the congregation, zip code boundaries (used as a proxy for neighborhoods) and the year the church was founded. For the reader’s convenience, two phone directories are in the back of the book, one by senior pastor’s name and another one by church name. Omissions, Errors & Updates We have attempted to list all the Christian churches in Springfield regardless of size, denomination, ethnic identity, language or community. We have, certainly, missed some churches inadvertently. Some information changes week by week as new churches are founded and others move, disband, or merge with others. We apologize for any oversights or errors, and welcome any information we may have missed. Please send corrections and updates to the attention of Donna Calawa, Visions for Springfield informational number at 413-746-4012 or email dcalawa@earthlink.net. Disclaimer Visions for Springfield is not endorsing or recommending any particular church by its inclusion in this Guide. The views and doctrines of the listed churches reflect diversity within the broad category of “Christian” and do not all necessarily correspond with the views and beliefs of Visions for Springfield. ii Sponsors The Cecil B. Day Foundation, Visions for Springfield, and supporting churches have provided funding for this guide. Acknowledgements We are so thankful to the many people who contributed to this pioneering venture in church research in Springfield. Without the work of these people, the project could never have reached completion. This includes all the people who initially found the churches, mailed surveys, called pastors, visited churches, put the information into the database, took pictures of churches, provided valuable consultation, answered questions and guided the process. Many people made valuable contributions to this guide. They include Chris Abro, Jeff Bass, Nate Bech, Joy Benevento, Kathy Bottasso, Earl Bousquet, Bob Brindle, Dave & Vinnie Burgess, Don, Donna, Paul & Elena Calawa, Margaret Cook, Gary Coombs, Sue Capen, Rev.

In Memorial We would like to dedicate this publication to the memory of three special people of God who have made an impact on Visions for Springfield and in our city. Dr. Bruce Jackson, former Assistant Dean of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary’s Center for Urban Ministerial Education (CUME) in Boson, helped initiate and inspire Visions for Springfield in beginning and continuing CUME classes here. Diane “Di” Manchester, former secretary of Glorious Gospel Church and part of the Visions for Springfield team, took pictures for this Resource Guide, helped set up meetings and generally inspired and encouraged Visions for Springfield in the ministry. Bishop J. P. Morgan, former pastor of Holy Trinity Church of God in Christ and Bishop in the Church of God in Christ worked tirelessly for his church and in many ways for the betterment of the city of Springfield. His work was inspirational to the ministry of Visions for Springfield. We praise God for the lives of these wonderful servants of God. Their exemplary lives will continue to spur us on for years to come. Dedication This Guide is dedicated to the glory of God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and to the growth of His church and His kingdom, especially in the city of Springfield. Without Him, this work would not have been completed. iii Introduction & Project History This is the first edition of the Springfield Pictorial Christian Church Resource and Network Guide published by Visions for Springfield (VFS). VFS began in 1998, as a nondenominational Christian ministry serving greater Springfield. The mission of VFS is to understand and help nurture the vitality of the church in the context of the broader urban community. Initially, a group of 40 Christians from various churches and para-church ministries came together in a vision-sharing meeting around the question “What is your vision for Springfield?” Dale Atlas, Doug Hall, and Judy Hall, all of the Emmanuel Gospel Center in Boston guided us in the process of sharing 50 visions and boiling them down to theological education, research and communication and evangelism. In response to these major areas the VFS team has moved forward to work on fulfilling these visions. VFS partnered with Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary’s Center for Urban Ministerial Education (CUME) in bringing classes for Springfield’s Christian leaders. Project One, a ministry uniting pastors for evangelism, was introduced in Springfield. The VFS team members worked with Mission Pioneer Valley with Luis Palau in an evangelistic festival. The Springfield Pictorial Christian Church Resource and Network Guide was completed to aid in research and communication among churches. For more information about VFS and its work in the city, please see the section of this guide containing the VFS statement of purpose and principles of ministry. VFS first began documenting Springfield’s churches back in 1998, in much the same way as Judy Hall and Chet Young of the Emmanuel Gospel Center did in Boston in 1970. The VFS team members drove up and down each street in Springfield, initially finding 133 churches. Only the most basic information about each church was gathered at that time. VFS began in earnest in the Spring of 2000 gathering information via surveys through personal visits to churches and hundreds of calls to places of worship around the city. The process has required over 45 volunteers and several years of work. This first edition of the Guide, printed in 2004, lists 171 churches in Springfield. The Guide includes all churches from the small storefronts to the largest cathedrals, each with an entire page and a photo at no cost to the churches. The information presented here will provide a baseline for understanding the current state of the Christian church in Springfield and a means for evaluating church growth trends in Springfield in the coming years. iv direction through biblical reflection.

The last 10 churches created in Springfield span the years from 1996 to 2002. Six of the last 10 churches have congregations that are predominantly African-American, two are predominantly Hispanic and the other two are White. Six of the last 10 churches (not the same six) are from one denomination or another that hails from a Pentecostal background, two are non-denominational, and one each is Baptist and Presbyterian. Three of these churches are located in the 01109 area, in the geographic heart of the city. One is located in the 01119 area, on the southeastern edge of the 01109 area. The 01109 area has the heaviest concentration of churches in Springfield and is predominantly African-American in composition. Two churches were initiated in the South End (01105 zip code), which has a mix of low-income housing projects and owner-occupied housing. Both of these churches appear to be targeted for separate housing projects in close proximity to the outreach of the respective church. One of the Hispanic churches was placed in the 01128 zip code, a relatively small geographic area that until recently had only one other church in the zip code area. Two of the new churches are located along Sumner Avenue (in shared space with existing congregations), with one in the Forest Park area (01108 zip code) and one in East Forest Park (01118 zip code). 199 Appendix 2 – Shared Space between Churches Based on responses to our surveys, it was discovered that about 15% of the churches in Springfield (29 congregations) are currently sharing facility space with an existing congregation. A full fifty (50) percent of these congregations that are currently lodged in another church’s facilities are distinct from the sponsoring church on the basis of ethnicity or language. The sponsoring churches have all been established in their current location for at least 20 years, in 5 cases over 100 years. In one special instance, a congregation was taken into the facilities of a sister church, until renovations to the sheltered congregation’s church could be completed. The typical congregation that borrows or rents space within an established church in Springfield has been in existence between 2 and 12 years. 200 Appendix 3 – Prayer Meetings by Day of Week The following prayer meetings were scheduled on the day listed as of the publication date of this guide. As churches vary their schedules for many reasons, it is recommended to check with the church and re-confirm the date and time of any meeting. Churches that identified their prayer meetings as “Daily” are listed on all seven days of the week. Only those churches that identified a specific date and time for a prayer meeting are included in this appendix. Church Name Sunday Service/program Time Church of Our Lord Apostolic, Incorp.
