We hope you’ve heard the exciting news: Spring of Life is discerning a vision to build a 13 classroom Early Learning Center.

This vision would enable us to serve more children and repurpose existing space to facilitate partnerships with other organizations aligned with our mission. 

Before we take the next step, we are hosting a church conference after worship on May 3rd to discern God’s leading as a congregation. At that meeting, every member of Spring of Life United Methodist Church will have the opportunity to vote yes or no. Please prayerfully read this case statement, financial documents, and floor plan to prepare for that important meeting. The collective discernment of every Spring of Life Church member will guide us forward.
