New to our LifeSpring page? We are a truly non-denominational church, established in 2006 to be a home for people who are tired of traditional church or who feel burned out for various reasons.
True to our nature, LifeSpring meets in Playhouse Merced, a performing arts center in downtown Merced, two doors east of Bob Hart Square. We have called PHM home for nineteen years at this writing. We like its informality and the fact that we are not tied down by ownership. It makes LifeSpring portable.
Dress at LifeSpring worship is informal. We think that other things are more important than getting dressed up. We conclude our Sunday worship with a snack bar and opportunity for LifeSpringers to talk and catch up from the last week.
Joel Shade is our worship director, and, with a small group of musicians, leads us in heartfelt and encouraging worship. LifeSpringers love our worship because of its sincerity and simplicity.
LifeSpring, as part of her mission, partners with a community non-profit called LifeLine Community Development. We like the way that LifeLine gives help and encouragement to those in poverty. We think that is what Jesus would do. We are also in the process of expanding our outreach.
Entry to LifeSpring’s worship is primarily from the 16th Street side of PHM. There is a large parking lot near the entry door. For those with mobility issues, we can make arrangements for entry on the Main Street side as well. We keep PHM doors locked although we have a person stationed at the door for late arrivers.
We’d love to have you swing by for a visit. Perhaps you’ll stay.
