Royal Spring refers to the spring of living water where Christians find eternal life, through faith in Christ Jesus, our savior, our King of Kings.
It also refers to the spring that comes from north of Georgetown, which was discovered, and used by Rev. Elijah Craig and Lewis Craig. This spring fed the town of Georgetown (then Lebanon, renamed after the Revolution), the town in which this fellowship meets.
