Upcoming Sermon

What does it really mean to surrender to God?

This Sunday is Respond—a time to slow down, worship together, and respond to who God is and what He has done.

Through Scripture, music, singing, and prayer, we'll explore what it means to Respond Through Surrender. We'll see that surrender begins with seeing God rightly, grows from trusting His character, and doesn't require us to pretend that surrender is easy—or that what we're carrying doesn't hurt.

Because surrender isn't trusting God because we know what He will do. It's entrusting ourselves to God because we know who He is.

What are you holding tightly today? A plan? A relationship? A fear? An outcome you desperately want?

Join us this Sunday as we create space to bring those things honestly before God and respond to His grace with trust, worship, and surrender.

Coming Up At Creekside

Guided Prayer Prompts

Our 12 Hours of Prayer event scheduled for Saturday has been canceled, but we still want to encourage you to set aside time to seek the Lord in prayer wherever you are. If you were looking forward to walking through the guided prayer stations, we've made the prompts available so you can use them at home—individually or with your family. Respond Sunday will continue as planned, as we gather together to worship, pray, and respond to what God is doing in our lives and our community. We look forward to worshiping with you Sunday!
