After eight years of ministry with the Navigators and eight years as a

pastor in California, Dan Finnegan returned to Colorado to work with

New Life Church. In 1999, New Life sent Dan to Mountain Springs Church

(MSC) to gain further pastoral experience as their Outreach Pastor.

After two years at MSC, God gave passion and direction to Dan and his

wife, Cheri, to start a local church, and in May of 2002, Dan and Cheri began

meeting in their basement with a handful of families. That summer, in honor

of the two churches (Mountain Springs Church and New Life Church) that

helped to launch this new church, Dan and Cheri named the church “Springs of Life.”

In September of 2002, Pastor Steve Holt, senior pastor of MSC publicly

blessed SLC and sent Dan and Cheri out to begin the church.

Early in 2005, God directed the church body to begin looking for a new

location. Since the start of the church, they met first in a middle school and

then in the basement of a local ministry. On August 4th, 2005, God entrusted

them to be the owners of a property located in central Colorado Springs.

Springs of Life Church is part of the WSMI Network of Ministries.
