About West Springs Church

West Springs Church began with a handful of families led by Pastor Tim McDonnell. We secured meeting space at Carmen Trails Elementary School and held our first worship service there on May 5, 1995. We purchased an old bread delivery panel truck for storing all of our equipment. Every week we unloaded, set-up, tore down and reloaded that truck- a lot of work, but we were rewarded with a strong bond of cooperation and sacrifice on the part of everybody. Those early days were great days! Since all believers are united with Jesus Christ through His saving work and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, believers are also members of one another in the body of Christ on earth, His church. There is only one true universal church comprised of all those who believe and confess Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The Scripture directs believers to gather together to devote themselves to worship, prayer, teaching of the Scriptures, observance of the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s supper, fellowship, ministry to the body through the use of talents and gifts, and outreach to the world with the gospel. Whenever God’s people meet regularly in obedience to this command, there is a local expression of the church. Under the oversight of elders and other supportive leadership, its members are to work together in love and unity intent on the one ultimate purpose of glorifying Jesus Christ. We believe that there is one true, Holy God, eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of deity and the characteristics of personality. In the beginning God created out of nothing, the world and all the things in and around it, and by doing so manifested the glory of His power, wisdom and goodness. By His sovereign power, He continues to sustain His creation and by His providence He is operating throughout history to fulfill His redemptive purposes.
