There’s a place for you here. 💛
Kids, teens, parents, grandparents, longtime believers, people with questions, people looking for community, there’s a place for you at Kindness + Co. 🫶🏼

We’re so excited to create a space where people of all ages can gather, connect, serve, and experience the kindness of God together.

We can’t wait to open these doors VERY soon! 📖

We want to hear from the KIDS! 👇💛
As we start stocking the shelves at Kindness + Co., we want to know what your kids would be excited to find in a Christian bookstore right here in Springfield. Ask them! Is there a book series they love? A specific Bible translation they’ve been wanting? Fun stocking stuffers? Something else entirely?
Creating a place where younger generations can experience kindness AND have opportunities to actually participate in meaningful projects that serve our community is a huge priority for us. We want your kids to feel like there’s a place for them here, too.
So ask your kids and drop their answers in the comments! We can’t wait to welcome them into Kindness + Co. 💛

A little peek into our vision for the Community Corner at Kindness + Co. 👀💚
Green ceilings, cozy places to sit and linger, shelves full of thoughtfully chosen products, and space to pull up a chair and work on a meaningful project supporting our Mission Partner of the Month. This is the kind of place we’ve been dreaming about, where you can come to shop, but also stay awhile, connect, and participate in kindness right alongside us.
Want to learn more and follow along as we get closer to opening? Visit kindnessplusco.org and join our email list. You’ll be the first to know about Grand Opening details and everything coming to Kindness + Co.! 💛

“So… what actually IS Kindness + Co.?” 👀

Yes, we’re a Christian bookstore! You’ll be able to shop Bibles, books, gifts, apparel and more. But Kindness + Co. was created to be so much more than a place to shop.
It’s a place to gather, connect, learn, serve, give back and find meaningful ways to be part of what’s happening right here in our community. 💛

If you couldn’t make it to our Prayer Experience, we’d still love to have you stand with us in prayer! 🥰
We know we can’t make Kindness + Co. happen in our own power. We’ve already seen God move in amazing ways throughout this journey, and we want to continue giving Him all the glory for what He’s doing here.
Swipe through for 8 specific ways you can pray alongside us, joining the prayers our community has already lifted up over this space and the people who will walk through these doors.
Once you’ve prayed through them, visit our website and join our email list! You’ll be among the first to know when our Grand Opening is announced. 😇

Three days of covering the store in prayer and scripture. 🙏
To all who attended our Prayer Experience last week, and all who are praying for afar, THANK YOU for joining us in our mission to bring kindness into all of Springfield and beyond. 💛

At Kindness+Co., we have a huge heart for the local church!

One thing we want to make really clear as we get closer to opening: Kindness + Co. isn’t affiliated with any one church. We want to be a place that comes alongside churches throughout our community and supports the work they’re already doing.

We’d love to invite local pastors and church leaders in for a sneak peek, hear more about their churches, and start conversations about how Kindness + Co. can best partner with and serve them.
So, Springfield, help us make some connections! Tag your pastor, preacher, or church leaders below so we can reach out and invite them in. 💛
