Still wondering why the pastor left the last church he was at with a lot of debt. They never paid…read moreanything except for interest on the building over all those years. Kinda crazy and very suspicious. But then blames it on a denomination. I am not A/G, and do not care, but I did look up and ask after all this happened, and all the church had to do was have the board vote to affirm they were leaving the A/G and thats all you have to do. So I love his excuses but I would never trust this pastor. He is a wolf in sheeps clothing!

Racially and ethnically diverse, it was a pleasure to see us all united under Christ as our Lord. Another great thing about the SCOC is that we were able to meet at the Washington Street Mission, leading to an easy connection with the organization. I was able to volunteer there and be a part of the great work the WSM is doing as well. Finally, the pastor and his family are simply the most wonderful people, and the message is firmly based on the Bible. As far as non-denominational Christian churches go, the Springfield Church of Christ is the best place to go.

After visiting the Dana-Thomas House, architecture fans should face east on Lawrence and look up…read more The yellow stone cross visible above the rooftops a few blocks away tops the central spire of Springfield's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The church is situated between the school and convent on one side and the rectory on the other, all executed in the same deep yellow stone. The imposing facade is Greek Revival, and when I walked up the steps in the middle of the day (on a Wednesday), the doors were open. The sanctuary is expansive and as opulently decorated as any of the great churches in Chicago. Marble is everywhere, from the wainscoting, to the niches, to that which frames the icon behind the altar. The stations of the cross are done in mosaic, but the most striking part of the church are the windows. Light floods into the tall, narrow windows showing the vivid colors of the images. Even though services weren't scheduled when I visited, there were several people seated around the church having quiet moments to themselves. More people came in while I was there, so it seems that the church is commonly open, but that visitors should enter quietly and move through the church unobtrusively and respectfully.

So, I walked in the snow to get here after learning 15 minutes before Sunday School. But, I managed…read moreto get into a Sunday school class by about 9:30. Everyone was friendly from my walk into the door to the break between services. I didn't sit long if at all without someone coming over introducing themselves and welcoming me in. As for the Sunday school topic it was from James 1 about being slow to speak and quick to hear. Slow to anger. It was what I needed to hear in a ministry today so I wan we'll pleased with my visit thus far. Here are the good to knows about this church if you're considering coming: If you have kids, there is a nursery. There is also coffee and donuts out for snack between services.

From the owner: A well-loved hymn opens with these lines, "I love to tell the story, of unseen things above, of…read moreJesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love." These words would describe well the passion and ministry of Southern View Chapel. We love to tell the story of the glories and wonders of Jesus Christ. We love to tell of His great sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary to save us from our sin. We love to proclaim God's Word in all of its fullness. We love to magnify God through every possible means. As a result of our zeal to proclaim these truths, our church--every aspect, program and activity--centers on the Word of God, which is the only source of life and godliness through the power of the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:3). The times of fellowship, evangelism, and worship are extremely important to us, but even these things must be firmly grounded upon the scriptures or they become activities without purpose. The Lord has created His church to be the "pillar and support of the truth" (I Timothy 3:15). It is our desire and delight to be a local congregation fulfilling the purpose for which we were designed.
