SPRING HILL BAPTIST CHURCH

What SPRING HILL BAPTIST CHURCH does

Spring Hill Baptist Church (SHBC) is an independent Baptist church and religious nonprofit operating from its main campus at 3140 Mariner Blvd in Spring Hill, Florida. The organization delivers weekly worship services (Sunday 10:30am with preceding 9:30am Bible study classes), age-segregated programming, and a portfolio of approximately fifteen specialized ministries spanning nursery through senior demographics, including AWANA children's clubs (Wednesday evenings, ages 3 through 6th grade), KidStart and Prestart Sunday children's programs, a Youth Group, Young Adults ministry, Women's Ministry, Prison Ministry at Hernando County Jail (Thursdays 7pm), GriefShare support groups, and Bible Study Fellowship. It also operates Spring Hill Christian Academy, a wholly-owned subsidiary delivering preschool through 12th-grade Christian education to over 380 students across two campuses (main campus housing middle and high school; separate elementary campus five minutes away), affiliated with the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools.

The church runs a digital platform built primarily on the Subsplash ecosystem, delivering a custom mobile application on iOS and Android with livestreaming, on-demand sermon messages, push notifications, digital bulletins, sermon notes, and integrated online giving through Subsplash Giving. A parallel smart-TV application extends the same content to Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Apple TV devices, and sermon podcasts are distributed across Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Stitcher, with YouTube and Facebook Live as additional livestream surfaces. Administrative and event-registration workflows are handled through Church Center and ShareFaith. Cumulative platform engagement includes approximately 1,149 mobile app downloads, 12,092 app launches, 7,710 media plays, and 67,820 engagement minutes, indicating modest but engaged digital reach relative to a single local congregation.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: voluntary tithes and offerings collected in-person and via digital giving, recurring online donations through Subsplash Giving, and tuition from Spring Hill Christian Academy. The organization employs approximately 15 staff and is led by Senior Pastor Dr. Ryan Rouse (doctorate from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; entered full-time ministry in 2002), with Mike Willis serving as Academy Principal, Craig Houser as Youth & Family Pastor, Jeb Berleth as Outreach and Ministries Director, and Peggy Harrison as Business Manager. The church maintains a network of roughly fifteen missionary partnerships across the U.S. (Montana Blackfeet Reservation, South Florida, Wisconsin, Missouri), Japan (Tokyo), Romania, the Caribbean, South Africa, and Portugal, supported through congregational giving, alongside denominational affiliation with the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches (GARBC).
