Who We Are
Oftentimes
folks ask, "What kind of church is Wellspring?" They are curious as to our feel of worship and how we operate as a unique body of believers. Here's an
attempt at describing how we roll at Wellspring. We are people
humbled by grace but emboldened with confidence in the gospel. This
impacts our worship by creating an environment of honesty,
enthusiasm, and a desire to hear God speak through His Word. We
warmly embrace the creeds of apostolic and historic Christianity ,
along with the Westminster Standards and other Reformed confessions.
We gladly sing new songs of praise, as well as the established hymns
of the church in their original and in new musical settings.
We
value our families and we value one another as individuals. We value
sincere (and sometimes hard) questions of the Christian faith and we
value honest answers that satisfy our minds and souls. Our culture
at Wellspring thrives on a daily recognition that the way into the
Christian life is the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the way forward in
the Christian life is the same gospel.
