Saved By Grace is the newest part of the music ministry of Springfield Baptist Church, located in Springfield Pennsylvania. Our mission is to reach people of all ages for Jesus Christ with our own unique blend of contemporary Christian, rock, almost-country, and classic hymns. We put our stamp on many of the old standards, as well as covering popular contemporary Christian songs, and doing our own originals. The band is comprised of 5 members from Springfield Baptist - Amanda "Mandy" Collins (vocals, guitar, original songwriting), Timothy Balch (vocals, guitar, song arrangements), Rita Balch (vocals, percussion), Phil Collins (vocals, percussion), and Mary Almonte (vocals). When we play outside of Sunday morning service, we are also joined by our friends Anthony "Chip" Schiavone on drums & Mike Walker on bass. We minister at SBC's morning service twice monthly, as well as perform "coffee houses" (live music nights) regularly for the congregation in a more casual setting. Keep your eye out for public performances as well...more info coming soon!!!

Photos from our first coffee house

On February 22nd, we held our first coffee house night at the church. Many thanks to our friends, Jim & Amie, who planned it & provided all the food! A great time was had by all. It was a great, laid back atmosphere, and everyone enjoyed the music. The next one is in the works!






the kids had a great time dancing to the music!



our boys wore matching shirts that said "I'm with the band" (from zoeandsprout.com)



We're looking forward to the next one, hopefully some time in May!
