Our story
A church planted with care, for the people of Fremont.
Fremont Springs is a Calvary Chapel being planted out of Heartland Springs Calvary Chapel in Grand Island. We're not parachuting in — we're being sent, prayed for, and supported by a sister church who's done this work for years.
Our vision is simple: open the Bible together, sing honest songs, share real meals and real life, and trust the Spirit to grow what only He can grow. No fog machines. No celebrity culture. Just Jesus and a family.
"Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. The water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." — John 4:14

Prayer for the Church Plant
Fremont Springs Calvary Chapel invites you to join us for a time of prayer for the church plant. We'll be gathering to seek the Lord together, pray for the city of Fremont, and ask God to lead, provide, and prepare the way as this new church family takes root.
All are welcome. Come pray with us as we ask the Lord to build His church.

Meet the pastor
Pastor
Sam Lewman
with Kim, and their three kids
A pastor shaped by grace, sent to Fremont.
Sam Lewman brings a remarkable journey of faith and resilience to Fremont Springs. Born in western Nebraska and shaped by life's challenges, Sam's encounter with the Lord during his high school struggle with depression set the foundation for a transformative path.
After enduring a life-altering accident that left him blind for two months, Sam and his family relocated to Utah, where he discovered a vibrant Calvary Chapel community that ignited his passion for daily scripture and prayer. With a calling that led him from a corporate career to Bible college in California, Sam has dedicated his life to serving God and spreading His word.
Now, as a pastor at Heartland Springs in Grand Island, he is committed to planting a church in Fremont that nurtures discipleship and fosters genuine connections among believers — reflecting the love and grace that have so profoundly impacted his own life.
What you'll find here
The simple things, done faithfully.
Like every Calvary Chapel, we hold to a handful of distinctives that shape who we are. They're not slogans — they're how we actually do church, Sunday after Sunday.
01
Verse-by-verse teaching
We walk through the Bible book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. The whole counsel of God — not just our favorite parts.
02
Simple, honest worship
Music that helps you actually sing to Jesus. A space where worship isn't performance — it's the church's heart turning Godward.
03
Real fellowship
Sundays are only the start. We share meals, pray for each other, carry each other's burdens, and build friendships that last decades.
04
The work of the Spirit
We make room for the Holy Spirit to lead, comfort, convict, and gift His people — without sensationalism or fear.
05
Discipleship for all ages
Kids are part of the family. We teach them the same Jesus, in their own language, with as much care as we teach the adults.
06
Mission in our city
Fremont is our neighborhood. We're here to love it, serve it, and pray for it — long after we cut a ribbon on a building.

Teaching from our family of churches.
Until we launch publicly, sermons here come from our sending church, Heartland Springs Calvary Chapel. The teaching style, theology, and tone are exactly what you'll find at Fremont Springs on Sundays.
Get involved
Three ways to be part of this.
Church plants don't happen because of one family — they happen because dozens of people quietly choose to pray, give, and show up. If God has put Fremont Springs on your heart, here's how to step in.

Launching a church takes resources — a place to meet, a sound system, kids' supplies, support for the pastoral family. Every gift makes a real difference.
