We’re Glad you’re here!

At Church @ The Springs, we want you to feel comfortable and welcomed as soon as you walk through the doors. But our first priority is helping you get to know Jesus in a way that transforms your life. Our time together each week starts with worship led by our music teams and moves into a message that is easy to understand & applies to whatever you’re facing right now. So come as you are, and expect a relevant, impactful experience.

Our Middleton campus began with an invitation from God to purchase land directly across from the new Villages High School. We officially broke ground on September 15, 2024, as we gathered to celebrate all God has done since we launched on January 21, 2024. Church @ The Springs took a leap of faith by launching a portable campus at the Ezell Recreation Center.


God has opened the floodgates of opportunity, as what began as one service is now three to accommodate the growth. We are committed to faithfully stewarding God’s provision by moving at the speed of God’s guidance and your generosity. Therefore, we are asking you to join many others in the story God is writing in Middleton.
