What are the essentials of the Christian faith? Certainly the answer to that question begins with the gospel of Jesus Christ and centers upon his work on the cross. That is how we are made right with God, by grace and grace alone! From there, I think we’d have to talk about theology and...
As you may know, “Rise Up” is this Sunday, June 5th, where all students and children “rise up” to the next grade level during the student's 9:30 am Sunday Morning Connect connection hour. This is a big day in the life of God’s Church at Creekside. Our children and...
C.O.P. stands for Community Outreach Project. It’s been a Creekside Tradition in our Student Ministry for 17 years. Students who have been to C.O.P. can’t wait to go again. Our younger students who have been around Creekside for years can’t wait until their “first...
