All of our services are held at the American Legion Hall at the
corner of 8th and 'C' Streets in Springfield. You may use either
front entrance. The nurseries and Beginner Classes are more easily

We would like to help you find the appropriate nurseries,
classes, and service for every person in your family. Our greeters
and ushers are located around the building and will gladly help
direct and even escort you to the right place.
Here is a map
(1MB) of our building and the classes offered.
At every service on Sunday morning there are safe, clean, and
highly staffed nurseries for children two years old and under. For
children three years old through sixth grade there are fun,
friendly, and Bible-centered classes. These classes are staffed with
trained, friendly, and well-qualified teachers who will make church
exciting and memorable for your child. First through sixth graders
meet with the adults to begin the 11am service and then are
dismissed to Junior Church.
The Sunday School hour starts at 10:00am. Plan to arrive a few
minutes early so that we can help direct your family to the correct
nurseries or classes. This will also give you some time to meet the
teachers of your family's classes. The Sunday morning worship
service starts at 11:00am.
Most adults attend the Pastor's Sunday School class in the
auditorium. This class is a smaller group setting where you are
invited to meet people, enjoy perhaps some coffee and donuts, and
hear a teaching lesson more directly applicable to you. The best way
to get to know people at Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church is to visit our
adult bible class. We also have a seasonal Biblical Foundations
Class for those who would like to "brush up" on the basics. Most
adults follow Sunday school by attending the worship service where
they enjoy the inspiring music of the choir and rousing
congregational songs. The music is always followed by a clear,
helpful, and challenging Bible message from Pastor Gillaspie. This
service is a little over one hour in length.
There is not a dress code at Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church for
members or guests. Our ministry leaders and many of our church
family dress in more traditional “Sunday” dress; however, our main
goal is that you would feel welcome and comfortable on your visit
here!
Yes. We also meet on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm for a mid-week
Bible study. If you can't be our guest on Sunday morning, we hope
you'll visit with us during another service time.
No. We don't invite you to Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church for your
offering. We want our service to be a gift to you. We hope you will
find in this place a warm family spirit, truth from God's Word, and
a place where you can grow in God's grace. Please don't feel any
obligation to participate in the offering as a guest. If there's
something we missed on this list, just give us a call, or ask
someone when you arrive. Whether you're new to the area and looking
for a church home, or if it's been a long time since you've attended
church at all, we hope your first visit at Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church
will be awesome! We exist to serve you and your family, and we are
looking forward to meeting you personally. We hope you'll feel right
at home from the very first moment you arrive! Let us know how we
can serve you better, and we hope to meet you this Sunday!
