Abstract

Springfield Church of God has been unbalanced. It has always been a 'sanctuary church,' looking inward, concentrating on its inner dynamics, and not focusing on the surrounding community. Two goals were used to move the church to a balanced ministry: transformative social involvement in the community, and enhancing the church's role in Springfield by providing for the elderly. The church emerged with the awareness that social ministry is central to the congregation and that the former model of Pentecostalism, while being scriptural, does not concern itself enough with holistic ministry.
