Our Faith
Heritage: Spring Creek Church of the Brethren is connected to a larger body of Jesus-people in the Church of the Brethren which draws its heritage through those identified as Pietists and Anabaptists. Of concern to the founders of our Anabaptist heritage was the conviction that Christianity is not only a faith to believe in, but one to be acted upon and lived out.
Practices: Our practices include baptism of believers, observance of love feast, feet washing and communion, the service of anointing, striving toward a Christian lifestyle of simplicity and non-conformity, fostering use of the non-violent peaceful approach in addressing problems - seeking solutions through love of friends and enemies that leads to forgiveness and reconciliation, communicating the gospel by word and deed, and responding positively to the total ministry of the church as the Lord leads to commit our gifts to service for the common good and the upbuilding of the body of Christ.
Our Denomination
The Church of the Brethren traces its origins back to 1708, when it was formed in response to the worldly and violent ways of life its founders saw in the institutional churches of the time. It's one of the three historic peace churches, and encourages a life of simplicity, action, and community, in accordance with what we read of Christians in the New Testament.
