Calendar of events at Creekside week of May 31-June 5

Upcoming Sermon

What if steadfast character isn’t something we manufacture…but something Jesus forms in us?

This Sunday, we’ll continue our series through 1 Peter with a message called “Steadfast Character” (1 Peter 3:8–22). Peter shows us what happens when our identity is truly settled in Jesus: we become free to pursue unity, bless those who wrong us, and trust God with the outcome.

In a world that says, “Protect yourself. Defend yourself. Get even,” Jesus forms a different kind of character in His people—one marked by humility, compassion, courage, gentleness, and hope.

So where is Christ inviting His character to become more visible in us? Where are we tempted to repay hurt with distance, bitterness, silence, or retaliation? And what would change if we trusted God with the final outcome?

The good news?

Jesus has already suffered, risen, and reigns over every power. Because our lives are secure in Him, we are free to keep doing good, pursue peace, and reflect His character even when life is hard.

Join us this Sunday as we learn what it means to live with steadfast character.

Kids Explore Baptism

Jul 22, 2026, 10:30 PM

There’s something special about seeing children choose to publicly share their faith in Jesus through baptism. At Creekside, we want every child to understand the meaning of baptism and feel confident sharing their story, so we ask all children to attend our Explore Baptism Kids class before being baptized. This age-appropriate class is designed just for them and is required for all children planning to participate in baptism. The next class will be held on Wednesday, July 22, at 6:30 PM.

Explore Creekside Kids

Come learn what it means to be a volunteer for Creekside Kids! We will review the responsibilities of being an adult helper in a classroom, the protection policy, have time to begin the application, and ask questions! Sunday, July 26th after 2nd service. Meet in the Kids Chapel. Please register. A light lunch will be provided.

Explore Baptism

Aug 3, 2026, 6:00 PM

If you are considering being baptized, we ask that you attend this class beforehand. Explore Baptism will help you understand the biblical foundation of baptism and guide you in forming and sharing your personal testimony. All are welcome.
Baptism Sunday usually takes place 2 to 3 Sundays after the Explore Baptism Class.
