What is a Presbyterian?

Presbyterians are a group of Protestants whose church is founded on this concept of democratic rule under the Word of God. The Presbyterian denomination is a form of Christianity democratically organized to embrace the faith common to all Christians. In the New Testament, presbuteros means, “elder,” and refers to the custom of choosing leaders and advisors from among the wisest members of the church.

Presbyterians believe that:

God: Creator of the universe
Christ: the incarnation of God on Earth
Holy Spirit: the presence of God in the World and in the believer
The Church: a universal company of Christ’s followers
Forgiveness of Sin: made possible by the crucifixion of Jesus
Life Everlasting: shown by the resurrection of Jesus
Bible: the inspired word of God.

Our Mission

The purpose and mission of the First Presbyterian Church of Springfield is to continue the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ until he comes again. To accomplish this we have a three-fold plan:

Enlist disciples in the way of Jesus Christ;
Encourage the people of God to grow in their faith;
Engage the Kingdom of God in the World.

We are a believing community that encourages and supports one another in our Christian pilgrimage: Each believer has been given special gifts and is encouraged to use them for the glory of God. A loving, supportive community is as important today to the growth of ones faith as it was to the early church. We offer a variety of opportunities for our disciples to be enriched and nourished.
