WHO WE ARE

We are a family of churches seeking to walk in the way of Jesus in Springwood, Winmalee and throughout the Blue Mountains. Jesus said of himself: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” In walking the way of Jesus, we walk together into the life Jesus offers in relationship with the God revealed in the Bible as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

In 1895 the sandstone church was built in Springwood. Jesus’ people, from a Presbyterian heritage, began to meet there. In subsequent years, Presbyterian church meetings commenced in various locations throughout the Blue Mountains including Woodford, Glenbrook, and Blaxland. In 1992, the church building in Winmalee was constructed on Hawkesbury Road.

Springwood Presbyterian Churches is a growing community of four church families who gather at our Springwood and Winmalee sites. We are committed to the kingdom of Jesus Christ and demonstrating through word and action how the Lordship of Jesus reaches into every sphere of life. We are passionate about seeing the gospel proclaimed in its full height, breadth and depth.

We believe that the scriptures speak into our world today and into the complexity of modern life. We believe that God speaks through His word and by His Spirit to form us and invite us into participating in His kingdom work. We believe that the world is broken and marred by sin. We believe that we need a saviour who will wash us clean and give us new hearts to live for God. We believe that saviour is Jesus.

Nestled in the heart of the Springwood Village, our church is in a great location to be a presence in the community. We have a passion for reaching out to our community and welcoming people in. Our ministries of Open Church, Playtime and Under the Cedar play a significant role in our connections with community.

We operate under the model of leadership teams, where each of our four churches is cared for by their own team of elders and deacons. We have a Session comprised of elders and deacon representatives who oversee matters impacting the whole group of churches. We believe it is imperative that the church be building up the body of Christ in their God-given gifts and looking to empower men and women to take opportunities to learn and grow and enact their gifts for the glory of God.
