ABOUT US
One hundred and forty-two years of Praise and Glory to God is an appropriate and fitting way to characterize the history of Springfield Baptist Church. In 1878, by an arbor bush on what was called the Double Bridges Road and now Springfield Road, a small number of worshippers met to discuss and organize what was to become Springfield Baptist Church.   The church was given the name Springfield to represent the one word which combines the necessities of life:  SPRING, a water supply for most folks, and FIELD, a place which supplied their food. There have been eighteen pastors serving Springfield Baptist Church from 1878 to 2020. Reverend Dr. Ozie G. Bradford, Jr. of Springfield Baptist Church, was elected on December 15, 2019. Current Deacons are Robert L. Stokes (Chairman), Kelvin Lewis, Irma Robertson, Sharmaine Robertson,  Johnnie Streat, Joseph Streat, Kenith Williams and Julius Whitehead.  The church has also been blessed with the Ministers that continue to serve: Reverend Raymond Dowdy, Reverend Sandra Hurt-Rice, Minister Michael J. Fowlkes, Reverend Renetta Bradford, Reverend Carl and Shanell Hunt. The Trustees currently are Brothers Michael Fowlkes, Melvin Harried, Silvester Harris, Joseph Hartso, Willis Hughes Sr., Floyd Jackson and Sisters Jacqueline Miller, Dorothy Miller and Naomi Whitehead. Brinda Fowlkes is the Church Clerk.  Although the church has been blessed with  Pastors and Officers, it is because of the commitment and faithful perseverance of the members of Springfield that the Church continues to be a beacon of hope for over 140 years.   We look to the future, and continue to strive with the grace of God to make it what our forefathers, fathers, and mothers would have it to be. We will not forget our rich Christian heritage and God’s love as we continue to pray for His guidance and blessings. To God, we give all the glory, praise, and honor.
