A Message from our Pastor

Welcome to Kirkwood, the “church in the woods”. Nestled among towering oaks and colorful dogwoods and camellias, we offer the surrounding Springfield area and greater community a place of worship and song, of prayer and learning. We offer the Lord of Life whose compassion and comfort and whose grace and guidance may be found in a gathering of fellow Christians, drawn together in faith, hope, and love. Together we are companions of Christ, seeking courage and comfort during the storms of life, nurtured through discipleship and fellowship, and empowered by God’s Spirit to extend grace to all, to work for justice among all, and to express the good news of Jesus Christ in our active daily lives. We are young and old, married and single, and together we are sisters and brothers of Jesus Christ.

We welcome you to come and join us in the adventure of a lifetime, serving Jesus Christ here in our community and throughout the world.

Yours in Christ, Rev. Larry C. Lees
