Springs Reformed Church was originally organized in 1981, first as a bible study group and home church for 3 years and then meeting in a garage until we reached the 50 seat capacity after 10 years.
Springs Reformed Church was originally organized in 1981 as the “Colorado Springs Reformed Presbyterian Fellowship”.
The church consisted of a few couples and individuals who had been meeting as a Bible study group and commuting on Sundays to worship at Westminster Reformed Presbyterian Church in Westminster, Colorado.
The church met in the home of Bob and Ruth Mann for about three years. Then one of the organizing families bought a home that had a five car garage. God provided a loan and many gifts that enabled us to remodel that garage into a meeting place that could seat about 50 people. We met in this “garage” for about 10 years and we were pastored by Bruce Backensto for the first five years.
In 1986, the church called J. Paul McCracken to be our pastor. In 1992, God provided so that the congregation could buy an old, unoccupied church building in downtown Colorado Springs. After extensive remodeling, the building became a wonderful space in which to worship and fellowship. As we made the move to the new building, we shortened our name to “Springs Reformed Church”.
In 2002, Pastor J. Paul McCracken retired from ministerial work, at which time David Reese, who interned with Pastor McCracken during his final year of pastoral service, completed his seminary training and accepted a call from this congregation to begin to serve full time as our pastor.
In 2010, the church called Alex Tabaka to be the associate pastor with his focus being to get a new church plant started in Monument, CO. The Monument work, Tri-Lakes Reformed Church, held their first worship service on March 13, 2011 and was officially organized on December 15, 2013, at which time Pastor Tabaka was called to be the pastor of that congregation.
In April of 2014, we installed Jason Ryce to be the new associate pastor of Springs Reformed Church then he eventually became our full-time pastor in 2018.
After 30 years worshipping at 229 S, Weber Street our final worship service was held on May 29, 2022 in that location. That building was a blessing to us for many years, and it was sad to see it torn down the summer of 2022.
After a time of illness, Pastor Ryce resigned in 2022. Though the Lord greatly provided for our needs with many qualified men to bring us the Word of God each Lord's Day, we happily installed our current pastor, Ed Blackwood, in December of 2023.
In the beginning of 2023 we purchased our own church building at 2315 N. Circle Dr. and lovingly renovated it for a year to suit our needs, while we worshipped at a rented facility. We began worshipping once again in our own building on March 3, 2024.
We praise God that he was pleased to raise up this congregation to worship and serve Him, and that He continues to add to our numbers those who are seeking to worship Him in “spirit and truth” (John 4:24).
