Our mission is to glorify God by making disciples through gospel-centered worship, community, and mission.
Our chief aim is to bring glory to God. One of the ways we do that is by obeying Christ’s command to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18–20). We believe the Great Commission to “make disciples” is still binding today. We want to help you grow in your walk with Jesus and equip you to help another do the same.
Our vision is for Springdale Community Church to be a disciple-making church where every member lives all of life as worship, all of life in community, and all of life on mission. God desires His people to be conformed into the image of Jesus—that all who are in Christ would be transformed by the renewal of their minds, hearts, and actions (Romans 8:29; 12:2). God wants the whole person. Our vision and prayer are that all Springdale members—those with us today and all God will bring tomorrow—would be transformed by the power of the gospel to live fully surrendered to Jesus, living all of life as worship, in community, and on mission—and that we would help another do the same. That is disciple-making: We are walking faithfully with Christ, and we are bringing others along to do the same.
Our values shape who we are as individual followers of Jesus and as a corporate body. The gospel defines and shapes each value. The gospel reveals who God is, how He loves us, how He redeems us, and how He places His Spirit in us so we can worship Him in spirit and truth. The gospel reveals how God has united us to Christ and placed us in His family, where we are to live out these truths in community with the redeemed. And the gospel reveals how God pursued us and has now sent us, like the Father sent the Son, to be on mission to seek and save the lost.
Our hope is that all members would so value God’s glory that we view all of life as an act of worship. Whether we are singing and ascribing to God the glory due His name on Sunday morning in the worship center or fulfilling a mundane task at our workplace, may we see every moment of every day as an opportunity to worship God.
Our hope is that all members would so value living out the gospel in covenant membership with one another that we live all of life in community. Living out the gospel together means we seek to love one another, care for one another, encourage one another, and obey all the Bible’s “one another” commands in community. To live all of life in community means we do not go through life alone; we bring people into our lives, our struggles, and our ministry so we can spur one another on to love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24).
Our hope is that all members would so value God using us to accomplish His purposes that we live all of life on mission. To live on mission is to live with the same missional urgency and intentionality that missionaries live with everyday overseas. It is believing God has placed us where we are and in the relationships we have to serve people, share the gospel, and disciple others to follow Jesus. Whether on a mission trip overseas or in our neighborhoods and workplaces, we want God to use us whenever, wherever, and however He wants to accomplish His mission (John 20:21).
