Springs First Church Statement of Beliefs

We believe in one God – the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the Divine inspiration and Authority of the Scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments.

 

We believe that man was created in God’s image, but through disobedience sinned and fell, and that the entire human race shares in man’s lost and depraved nature.

 

We believe that the atonement (The shed blood of Jesus Christ shed on the Cross) is for the whole human race; and that whoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is saved from the dominion of sin.

 

We believe salvation is the gift of God by grace alone and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

We believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord, and that He ascended into heaven and is interceding for us.

 

We believe in the Holy Spirit, our Comforter and Helper sent to dwell in us, and place in us spiritual gifts to be used in the Body of Christ through His church.

 

We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is the sanctifying work of God and is for all believers as a definite endowment of power for service beyond salvation.

 

We believe that the ordinances of the church, by the command of Christ, are Water Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, both of which are given to those who are born again.

 

We believe in the glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

How to Know Jesus

1. Recognize that God pursues you with love and offers salvation.
2. Recognize that sin separates you from God and others.
3. Recognize that Jesus Christ died and rose again for our sins.
4. You must repent and ask God for forgiveness.
5. Place your trust in Christ and receive Him as your Savior.

Will you pray this prayer?

Lord Jesus, I want to have life. I know that I have sinned. I need Your forgiveness and pardon. I believe that You died and rose again for my sins. I now accept You as my personal Savior. I will forsake my sinful life. I know that Your grace and power will enable me to live for You. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me and for giving me a new life.

For help in living a meaningful life in Christ:

•  Be assured of Christ’s forgiveness.

•  Read your Bible and pray daily.

•  Find a concerned pastor and other Christians.

•  Become a vital part of that church.

•  Share your faith with others.

Core Values

A Christian People

As members of the Church Universal, we join with all true believers in proclaiming the Lordship of Jesus Christ and in affirming the historic Trinitarian creeds and beliefs of the Christian faith. We value our Wesleyan-Holiness heritage and believe it to be a way of understanding the faith that is true to Scripture, reason, tradition, and experience.

We are united with all believers in proclaiming the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We believe that in divine love God offers to all people forgiveness of sins and restored relationship. In being reconciled to God, we believe that we are also to be reconciled to one another, loving each other as we have been loved by God and forgiving each other as we have been forgiven by God. We believe that our life together is to exemplify the character of Christ. We look to Scripture as the primary source of spiritual truth confirmed by reason, tradition, and experience.

Jesus Christ is the Lord of the Church, which, as the Nicene Creed tells us, is one, holy, universal, and apostolic. In Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit, God the Father offers forgiveness of sin and reconciliation to all the world. Those who respond to God’s offer in faith become the people of God. Having been forgiven and reconciled in Christ, we forgive and are reconciled to one another. In this way, we are Christ’s Church and Body and reveal the unity of that Body. As the one Body of Christ, we have “one Lord, one faith, one baptism.” We affirm the unity of Christ’s Church and strive in all things to preserve it. (Ephesians 4:5, 3).

A Holiness People

God, who is holy, calls us to a life of holiness. We believe that the Holy Spirit seeks to do in us a second work of grace, called by various terms including “entire sanctification” and “baptism with the Holy Spirit”-cleansing us from all sin, renewing us in the image of God, empowering us to love God with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength, and our neighbors as ourselves, and producing in us the character of Christ. Holiness in the life of believers is most clearly understood as Christlikeness.


Because we are called by Scripture and drawn by grace to worship God and to love Him with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength, and our neighbors as ourselves, we commit ourselves fully and completely to God, believing that we can be “sanctified wholly,” as a second crisis experience. We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts, cleanses, fills, and empowers us as the grace of God transforms us day by day into a people of love, spiritual discipline, ethical and moral purity, compassion, and justice. It is the work of the Holy Spirit that restores us in the image of God and produces in us the character of Christ.


We believe in God the Father, the Creator, who calls into being what does not exist. We once were not, but God called us into being, made us for himself, and fashioned us in His own image. We have been commissioned to bear the image of God: “I am the LORD . . . your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy”

A Missional People

We are a sent people, responding to the call of Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to go into all the world, witnessing to the Lordship of Christ and participating with God in the building of the Church and the extension of His kingdom (Matthew 28:19-20; 2 Corinthians 6:1).


Our mission begins in worship, ministers to the world in evangelism and compassion, encourages believers toward Christian maturity through discipleship, and prepares women and men for Christian service through Christian higher education.
