The Porch is a nationwide ministry with the sole purpose of reaching all young adults. It exists to call any and every young adult to see Jesus and to surrender fully to life with Him. The Porch uses local churches to host service schedules and events.

​

The Porch Life Springfield is hosted by Park Crest Baptist Church and is designed to provide an opportunity for young adults in the greater Springfield region to gather, worship and become more like Christ.

  • Tuesday Nights

    • I am able to commit to team meetings at 6PM each Tuesday, and am able to stay until 9:30PM. 

    • I recognize that Tuesday evenings are a time of outreach and service to Porch attendees. It is not a time for Porch leaders to focus on hanging out with friends.
