About Us

Springcreek desires to be a gospel people, proclaiming and living a gospel message in a gospel famished world. We do that in community, following Jesus in the everyday rhythms of our life.

Together, we are a community of believers. What does the word "community" mean? We believe that together in fellowship we grow closer to God and one another. The Bible speaks about iron sharpening iron. We believe that together we grow stronger.

We highly value our relationships with one another. We look to grow through fellowship, and ultimately growing closer to God. We value the Word of God, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all of the lost and broken, and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus Christ.

Springcreek desires to be a gospel people, proclaiming and living a gospel message in a gospel famished world. We were like most evangelical churches in the United States. We preached the Bible, rocked out to the latest Christian worship songs, and preached a well-packaged version of the “turn-or-burn” gospel message. Our church was growing and we were cool. But Pastor Keith sensed something was missing.

Deep down in his soul, he felt there was a bigger purpose to life and the church. So, he accepted an invitation from World Vision to travel halfway around the world thinking that saving Africa was the answer. Little did he, or the rest of us know the radical transformation God had in store. You see, Pastor Keith was not going to save Africa, but God was going to use Africa to save him—and our entire church as well—to be a blessing beyond ourselves, and for a purpose beyond our walls...

"I hope one day as a church, we look back on this day and say, 'That was the day we decided to be a different sort of church - one that buys property to share with the commmunity instead of simply buying more for ourselves, one that believes that being the church happens primarily outside the walls of our building, one that wants to match every dollar spent on ourselves with a dollar spent to serve our community, one that meets people where they are instead of expecting them to come to us, one that wants to be known as loving others the way we love ourselves.'

I don’t know that all of those things will ever materialize as much as I long to see it happen. But if we fail, I’d rather fail in pursuing those goals than to never attempt something great for God. I couldn’t have been happier to see the largest gathering ever at a business meeting for the church, coupled with thoughtful insightful questions leading to an enthusiastic unanimous agreement about our direction. I will remember this day for a long time. God be our help!"
