THEY WILL KNOW US BY OUR LOVE
We are a church that is NOT focussed on church culture. We are focussed on building and developing community through relationships that reflect God’s love. You will NOT find the following at New Springs Community Church:
COMPETITION
We consider others better than ourselves. “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others.”
Philippians 2:4 ESV
CELEBRITY
Jesus is the only celebrity in the Kingdom of God! We promote Jesus, not our pastor. We are not interested in having the best worship band or the state of the art building, We are focussed on authentic worship and making sure our facility meets the needs of our congregation. “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Matthew 23:12 ESV
NATIONALISM
We love and respect our country and those who serve and protect it, but we know we are first citizens of God’s Kingdom. “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.” Galatians 3:28-29 ESV
FEAR
One of the greatest gifts from Christ is freedom from fear. “Fear not, nor be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? And you are my witnesses! Is there a God besides me? There is no Rock; I know not any.” Isaiah 44:8-10 ESV
DISCRIMINATION
There is no discrimination in God’s Kingdom! “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 ESV

HISTORY
We are a new church, founded in October 2015, when two churches came together at an established church site to form a new church community with a new vision and a new mission.
WHAT KIND OF CHURCH?
We are a small church with a focused mission. Our mission is not about growing a bigger congregation or building a bigger building. It's about building an honest to goodness vibrant community of diverse disciples who can be the hands and feet of Jesus. We believe as followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to love and serve the community that surrounds us as we grow closer in our personal relationship with God.
Is New Springs Community a white church? Black church? Traditional church? Contemporary church? Nope. Ours is an indiscriminate community, and we believe God wants it that way. A snapshot of our planet from God's view doesn't include just one type of believer from one demographic. The diversity of the human race is all part of God's plan and his dynamic masterpiece. We believe in the almighty power of God to break down the barriers that separate his people and we believe that his amazing, steadfast love has the power to unify the Church and all its people as one body. We are all one through Jesus.
What makes New Springs Community different? Let's be REAL (like really real). We are an active church that participates in serving and loving people fearlessly. That includes you, wherever you currently may be at in your relationship with God. We hope you're excited about belonging to a church that is open to having honest conversations about the big issues confronting our world and bridging the gaps to create new, meaningful relationships. Come to the table just as you are and let's talk about our faith, the Bible, what Jesus did for you, and what we can do in response to God's grace. Come join the journey at New Springs Community Church!

WORSHIP
The Bible tells us how important communal worship is to God and for our relationship with him. (Here's a great explanation.) When you visit us, be prepared to join us in worship. We have a gifted and humble worship ministry team of servant leaders and not superstars. Our worship music style tends to lean towards contemporary gospel, but we incorporate many styles of worship music at New Springs Community.
SERMONS
Our sermons are about what the timeless Word of God means to us still today. Sermon messages are relevant, bible based, and centered around equipping you for your life here today and tomorrow. We share Communion on the 1st Sunday of every month and visitors are welcome.
GIVE US 5We are excited you'd like to learn more about us. We hope you'll give us 5 weeks to help you discover more about your unique place in God's plan and get to know what being a part of New Springs Community is like.
