What We Believe

Ancient truth.
Living faith.
Unshaken hope.

Our faith is grounded in the written Word of God, centered on Jesus Christ, and lived in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Faithful to Scripture

The faith once delivered to the saints

Springdale Christian Fellowship joyfully stands in the historic Christian faith. We are Wesleyan-Arminian in theology, evangelical in mission, and committed to holy living that flows from the grace of God.

“Your word is truth.” John 17:17
01

The Holy Scriptures

We believe the Bible is inspired by God, fully trustworthy, and our final authority for faith, doctrine, and daily life.

02

The Triune God

We believe in one eternal God revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: three Persons, one divine being, perfect in holiness and love.

03

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, crucified for our sins, bodily raised, ascended, and reigning as Lord.

04

Humanity, Sin, and Grace

Every person bears God’s image, yet all have sinned. God’s prevenient grace awakens and enables us to respond freely to His saving call.

05

Salvation Through Faith

We are saved by grace through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, not by our works. God forgives, justifies, adopts, and gives new life.

06

The Holy Spirit

The Spirit is received at conversion. He regenerates, indwells, seals, sanctifies, guides, and empowers every believer to live for Christ.

07

The Church

The Church is Christ’s body, called to worship, fellowship, discipleship, holiness, compassionate service, and the proclamation of the Gospel.

08

Baptism and Communion

We practice water baptism and the Lord’s Supper as Christ-given signs of grace, obedience, remembrance, and our shared life in Him.

09

Holy Living

God calls every believer to grow in grace and love. Holiness is not human perfection, but a heart increasingly surrendered to God.

10

Christ’s Return

We await the personal, visible return of Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the dead, final judgment, and the everlasting kingdom of God.

✦
Our Distinctive

Word and Spirit, held together

We welcome the active work of the Holy Spirit while testing every teaching and practice by Scripture. The Spirit always glorifies Christ and never contradicts His Word. We do not practice speaking in tongues.
