WHO WE ARE
New announcements about SWCF and Stillwater area community activities are posted near the bottom of this page.
Still Waters Christian Fellowship is an independent, non-denominational Christian worship group that gathers at Still Point, 20 Still Point Rd, Mechanicville, NY every Sunday at 10 am for a traditional Christian service. We are a group of Christian believers who worship and serve God together. People from many different religious backgrounds have found peace and sanctuary at SWCF. Those who have never attended church before feel welcomed and safe in our fellowship. We are not associated with or governed by any religious denomination or other church. We welcome ALL people to worship with us. There is a Communion service on the first Sunday of every month. The Sunday service is followed by a coffee fellowship where light refreshments are served buffet-style. If you'd like to bring a food or beverage item to share at the coffee fellowship, there's a sign-up sheet on the refreshment table after services.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
There is only ONE God who created everything in His glory. The Bible is God's inspired message to us. We learn to love, obey and serve God by understanding His WORD. Jesus Christ IS God. All people, by human nature, choose to be disobedient to God (sin). This sin separates us from God and prevents us from having an ideal relationship with Him. Jesus Christ was made flesh and lived a perfect human life on Earth as our example. He was sacrificed to pay for the sins of EVERY person. His pardon is free for everyone who accepts His gift of salvation. The Holy Spirit fills every believer with God's presence and guides them in their journey with God. At SWCF, we strive to provide a welcoming sanctuary where people feel close to God. We believe that ALL Christians can worship the Savior together and be united in Christ's teachings. Together there is strength.
THE CONGREGATION
The people who attend SWCF love the Lord and do not feel the need to be bound by the rules of a religious denomination to worship God. They desire to understand God's will for their lives and seek to serve the Lord with the talents and abilities He has given to them. They are warm, friendly people who treat every person with respect and kindness. They have a heart to help people and be a blessing to the world.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT SWCF
We do not have membership rules or requirements. We are governed by a Board of Directors whose members are elected by the congregation. We do not take an offering during the worship service (there is a basket near the entrance for free-will donations). We prefer to dedicate the precious worship time to praise, prayer, and the sharing of God's Word. There is also time during the service set aside for people to publicly share their blessings and prayer needs. The sanctuary is always filled with joy, laughter and peace. You will feel close to God after every service.
