The Church - Springfield Bible Church

Our History

Springfield Bible Church is a non-denominational, fundamental, Bible-preaching fellowship of believers in Jesus Christ. Our church began serving the Springfield, MO community in 1973. The purpose of our church is pretty simple. We aim to: Proclaim God’s Word, Study the Bible as a body of believers, Glorify God through worship, Fellowship with our family in Christ, Support and teach others in our community and abroad through missions

Our Doctrine & Beliefs

Springfield Bible Church is a Bible believing, Christ-centered church.

Our purpose is to Glorify God and exalt Jesus Christ, share and serve as a body in love, increase our vision to include the whole world, proclaim the gospel to many in our community, learn and grow in the knowledge of God’s Word.

We Believe:

In the verbal inspiration and final authority of the Old and New Testaments
In the Trinity of the Godhead
In the virgin birth and deity of our Lord Jesus Christ
In the person and work of the Holy Spirit
In the personality of Satan
In the total depravity and lost condition of man by nature and his need for repentance and the new birth
In the propitiation of our sin through the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ our Savior and in his physical resurrection from the dead
In justification by faith
That every believer has eternal life, a life of separation from all worldly and sinful practices
In the dispensational distinction between the Church and Israel
That the translation of the Church will precede the Tribulation when God will again deal with Israel nationally
In the personal, pre-millennial coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to earth with his saints to establish His millennial kingdom
In the eternal conscious punishment of the lost and the eternal bliss of every saved person
