PAGE A4, KEIZERTIMES, MARCH 13, 2020 KeizerCommunity KEIZERTIMES.COM ‘Friendly and casual’ at Dayspring By LAUREN MURPHY Of the Keizertimes Chris Voigt, the lead pas- tor at Dayspring Fellowship, summed up their beliefs as “Jesus plus nothing.” Meaning that belief in Jesus Christ as a personal Lord and Savior is the only way to get to heaven. “Every other religion in the world you have to do some- thing in order to gain approv- al or get into heaven ... we [Christians] don’t have to do anything because Jesus already did it,” Voigt said. They believe in one God that exists in three persons– God the Father, God the Son and the God Holy Spirit. They believe that Jesus Christ was born of a vir- gin and died on the cross and rose again on the third day and in do- ing so took the punishment for mankind’s Voigt sins; they be- lieve Jesus as- cended to heaven and he will come back one day. Though they are techni- cally a conservative Baptist church, Voigt says they func- tion more as a community or nondenominational church. They were planted by First Baptist Church of Salem but they tend to be more auton- omous. “(The Conservative Bap- tist Association) is just there as a resource if we need them, but we don’t answer to them,” Voight said; the denomination does not tell them who to hire. They belong to the Evan- gelical Christianity branch of Grange history on display Submitted Susan Noah, master of the Oregon State Grange visited the Keizer Heritage Museum to view its exhibit on the Grange,espe- cially the Keizer Grange, which is currently inactive.

They have a history of being active in the community and partnering with schools and churches to show Christ’s love for others. The seven square miles of Keizer are home to more than a dozen churches of various religious affi liations. Matters of Faith is a series aiming to explain what makes these places of worship different and unique. Protestantism. “What makes Evangelical churches distinct is that they believe they have a high view of Scripture,” he said. They believe all scripture is the word of God and, “in- fallible and inerrant in the original manuscripts ... there are no other writings similarly inspired by God,” according to their website. “Everything we do is based in the Bible,” Voigt said. In addition to being a place where people can learn from scripture, Day- spring also wants to be a place that serves its com- munity. The church hosts free tax preparation to seniors and low-income households, they partner with other local churches and schools to help feed the community. “From the moment you walk in the doors, we want it to feel like home,” Voigt said. He described his church as friendly and casual. To become a member someone must have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, attend Dayspring’s member- ship class to learn about the church’s beliefs, how they op- erate and sign a membership covenant agreeing to pray for, support and be involved at Dayspring. They have a fi ve-piece band with a “modern worship” sound. A typical sermon will be anywhere from 30-35 min- utes, but a service will last for about an hour and 15 minutes. They have two services on Sundays, at 9 and 10:45 a.m. They offer childcare through the fi fth grade. Dayspring Fellowship is lo- cated at, 1755 Lockhaven Dr NE.
