• We are an ordinary group of people with lives changed by an extraordinary God. His love transcends denominationalism, so we embrace all Holy Spirit revelations of Jesus Christ. We are devoted to loving God above all and loving our neighbors as ourselves. We embrace faith through biblically sound teaching. We gather expecting all the spiritual gifts to be exercised for the building up of the body of Christ. We gather on the Lord’s Day to worship in Spirit and truth. Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ reveals his great love for us and His plan for eternal salvation. Personal ministry as the Holy Spirit gives unction attends and comforts His flock. Our commitment to prayer and studying God’s Word is universal. We relate based on love and commitment, not duty and responsibility. We have a relationship not a religion.

  • Our Mission is to know Jesus and make him known in the Chattahoochee Valley area and beyond by carrying out His command to make disciples of all nations. (Matthew 28:18-20) We want to help people discover and develop a passion for Jesus! 

  • We believe in small group Bible Studies using OBC Live. “Discipleship develops understanding and passion for Jesus.” This is, in its essence, our vision, as you effectively apply God’s Word to your life on a personal basis, the Holy Spirit will multiply that Word’s effect through you to touch many other lives. As you share  with others  who also apply the Word of God to their lives, the multiplication effect will begin to increase. Who knows how many people you can touch, both directly and indirectly, simply by being personally obedient to God’s Word! 

The Tenets of our Faith

These are the tenets of our faith at Dayspring Community Church as we see them, the non-negotiable elements of a Biblical worldview.

God

We believe that there is but one God, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, who is the Creator and Sustainer of all things visible and invisible, revealed in three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The Father

We believe in God the Father, the Ancient of Days, who is not aloof from human history but who, through various covenants, has initiated relationship with mankind, and to whom we have now been reconciled through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ upon the Cross. Because of Jesus Christ, we too can now call God "Father."

The Lord Jesus Christ

We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, His deity, His virgin birth, that He died, was buried and on the third day rose back to life, that He ascended to heaven and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. We believe that He is the eternal Son of God, for whom and by whom all things were created.

The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit (as the third Person of the triune God) proceeded from the Father and the Son, and is of one substance, majesty and glory with the Father and the Son.

The Holy Scriptures

We believe in the divine inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, as contained in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, as the sole revelation of the mind and will of God, and we accept them in their original form as the divine Word of God.

The Devil

We believe that the Devil, through temptation and deception, initiated the downfall of man and now seeks to destroy the faith of every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and to hinder the further spread of the Gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Justification by Faith

We believe that it is impossible to attain salvation through self-effort, but that through simply believing in the atoning death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and in acting out that faith through receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we receive the remission of all our sins, reconciliation with God and the gift of eternal life. We hold that the believer has an eternal salvation secured in Christ.

Baptism in Water

We believe in fulfilling the command of Jesus to baptize believers into the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and that this baptism is symbolic of our death, burial and resurrection with the Lord Jesus Christ in His redemptive work on the Cross.

Sanctification

We believe it is the glorious privilege of every believer in Christ to be made pure in heart and wholly sanctified by the operation of the Holy Spirit through the blood of Christ and the Word of God. A believer cannot be justified by works, but evidences that justification through works empowered by the Holy Spirit.

The Church

We believe in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, made up of all who have believed on the Lord Jesus and received the salvation of the Cross, and that this Church will come to the full expression of unity that can only be found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, according to the prayer of Jesus Christ in John 17.

The Lord’s Supper

We believe, in accordance with the command of the Lord Jesus, that we should celebrate this ordinance in remembrance of the atoning work of Christ and as an act of fellowship together.

The Return of Christ

We believe in the physical second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, returning as He ascended, with power and majesty, to judge the dead and the living. Those not found in the Book of Life will be consigned to everlasting separation from God, described in the Scriptures as the Second Death. Those found in the Book of Life will enter into the glorious presence of God.

Special Characteristics

These are the special characteristics which flavor our approach in discipleship material and ministry approach of Dayspring Community Church:

The Centrality of the Gospel

We believe that the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ must be central to all church teaching and activity. The Gospel is a "whole Gospel for the whole Christian life."

The Gifts of the Spirit

We believe in the empowering of the Holy Spirit for service and the present day operation of the gifts of the Spirit, as described in 1 Corinthians 12:7-11.

The Ministry of Every Believer

We believe that every believer, regardless of race, gender or educational status, is called by God to participate in His glorious purpose. We are all "full time" in the ministry, even if we have a secular vocation, and to this end, each believer has a unique mix of ministry gifts, as determined by the Holy Spirit.

The Unity of the Body of Christ

We believe in the indivisible unity of the Body of Christ, established solely upon the foundation of the Gospel of Christ. We believe that God is bringing His Body into a practical expression of unity, as described in John 17:20-23 and Ephesians 4:13.
