| "WellSpring is a Biblical Community of Believers who loves God and
others." |

| WellSpring
Community Church is an innovative church in the Clayton area. We have
members from many different denominations making us non-denominational
in many aspects. We have chosen to affiliate with the Southern Baptist
Convention for the purpose of missions and to develop other ministries
together. We use a broad range of methods to help believers encounter
Christ during a worship service. We use multi-media, drama, band,
practical messages, casual environment, small groups in the homes
and ministry based governmental structure. This is just the beginning
of the many unique ways that our church is reaching out to the unchurched
and burned out in our community. |

| VISION
OF WELLSPRING |
|
| |
| |
“WCC
is a group of Christ followers struggling together on the journey of life
through authentic worship of the creator of the universe in every
aspect of their lives, through caring for one another, through
committing to the disciplines necessary for maturity in service
and knowledge, and through reproducing themselves in their community,
nation, and world.”
(Acts
2:42-47; Matthew 22: 37-39; 28: 19-20)

|
| |
| WHAT DO WE VALUE? |
|
| |
| AUTHENTICITY |
| |
Every
believer should strive to be real with God and those they
encounter on the Journey. |
|
| |
| |
"Yet a
time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will
worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of
worshipers the Father seeks." John 4:23 |
|
| |
| WORSHIP |
| |
We
value the privilege to express our love for Christ through our
life actions |
|
|
| "Therefore,
I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy to offer your bodies
as a living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your
spiritual act of worship" Rom. 12:1 |
| |
|
|
| |
| DISCIPLINE |
| |
| We
value the individual being disciplined to go beyond salvation to
become more intimate and personal in his relationship with Christ |
|
Remain in me, and I will remain in you.
No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the
vine.
Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me….If
you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you
wish, and it will be given you.”
John 15: 4,7
|
| “Let
us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go
on to maturity…”
Heb. 6:1 |
| “Grow
in grace and
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
2 Peter 3:18 |
|
| MINISTRY AND SERVICE |
|
| We believe that each
person should reflect Christ’s character of servant leadership.
We believe that a team approach to service is more
effective for accomplishing the vision |
|
| "Each one should use whatever
gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering
God’s grace in its various forms." I Peter
4:10 |
| Matthew
25:34-40, Galatians 5:13, I Thessalonians 5:11 |
|
| FELLOWSHIP |
|
| We strive to create community by
encouraging, supporting and praying for one another as members of
a healthy, Biblically functioning community – the family of God
– sharing our lives together. |
|
| "By this shall all men know
that you are my disciples – that you have love for one
another." John 13:35 |
|
| COMPASSION |
|
| We
believe that impacting our community, nation, and world is birthed
out of a Christ like compassion. |
|
| "His intent was that through
the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made
known." Eph. 3:10 |
| “Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will
be saved. But who can
ask them to save them unless they believe in Him?
And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard
about Him? And how
can they hear about Him unless someone tells them?”
Rom.
10:13-14 (LB) |
