About Wellspring

Wellspring Family Church, an Evangelical Free Church (EFCA) located in the Saint Louis,

Missouri metro area, is passionate about worshipping the Lord and serving him together as a

church family on mission. The Worship Director will play a critical role at Wellspring, leading

worship and building into worship team members and future worship leaders. In addition, the

Wellspring is multigenerational and has average attendance of 250 people on a Sunday

expanded facility that will better support the church’s mission.
