ABOUT US

 
WHAT IS OUR MISSION?
 
To Honor God by Producing Fully Devoted Followers of Jesus Christ

We believe that everybody matters to God. No matter where you've been, no matter what you've done, no matter what has been done to you, God loves you as you are and wants to transform you into someone who is fully devoted to Him. Spring Creek has been on this mission for over 140 years.  

Our message is the great love that God demonstrated by sending Jesus to meet us right where we are. He gave up His life by dying on the cross to pay the debt of sin; a debt we couldn't pay ourselves. Not through works and not through good deeds. This is the best news you'll ever hear! And because of this incredible gift of grace, Spring Creek Church seeks to help people be transformed by meeting, knowing, and following Jesus.

WHAT IS OUR VISION?
 
To Boldly Proclaim the Gospel to Every Generation Because Jesus Changes Everything!

Vision encourages unity, creates energy, provides purpose, fosters risk taking, enhances leadership, promotes excellence and sustains ministry. It is God's call on where it wants a church to go. And we believe that tirelessly proclaiming the gospel to every generation is what God has for Spring Creek Church.

So how will we do it?

WHAT ARE OUR CORE BELIEFS?
 
What We Believe About Important Areas of Our Faith.
The Bible
We believe the Bible is God’s Word to us. Human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit, wrote it. Because God inspired it, the Bible is truth without error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.
God
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days, demonstrating His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven and will return again someday to reign as King.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation and provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance for doing what is right.
Humanity
People are made in the image of God, to be like Him in character. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin.” This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life.
Salvation
Salvation is a gift from God to humanity. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can we be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into their life by faith.
Eternity
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally united with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life in Heaven.
The Church
The Church is not a building but a people. It is a community of believers unified through faith in Christ. The Church is committed to the teachings of Christ, obeying His commands, and seeking to bring the Gospel to the world. Every believer is called to actively participate in the life and mission of the Church.
Baptism
Baptism is a public declaration of a personal commitment to Jesus Christ. It symbolizes the believer’s identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. Baptism does not save a person but shows that a person has already been saved.
Communion
Communion, or the Lord’s Supper, is a sacred practice where believers remember Christ’s sacrifice and celebrate the new covenant. The bread and the cup are symbols of Jesus’ body and blood. It is a time for reflection, gratitude, and spiritual unity.
Spiritual Gifts
God gives every believer spiritual gifts to be used for the building up of the Church and to serve others. These gifts vary but are to be exercised in love and in alignment with biblical truth.
Christian Living
Every follower of Jesus is called to live a life that reflects His character. This includes pursuing holiness, serving others, sharing the Gospel, and growing in relationship with God and one another.

OUR HISTORY

For the past 140 years, God has demonstrated His faithfulness to this church. While the name, buildings, strategies, and pastors have changed, one thing remains constant – the commitment to teaching and living God’s Word. We pray that God will continue to use Spring Creek Church so that people will grow to know and love Jesus.
