Join Us for Easter

You've made many wise choices in your life - where you went to school, the job you took, your spouse, starting a family.

There's something missing, though. You're looking for a little more out of life. Significance. Purpose. Hope. Joy. Belonging. You chase it in the things you do... in the choices you make.

Where do you go from here?On April 8, you'll get a chance to choose.
Choose wisely. The rest of your life is waiting.

Easter service times - Sunday, April 8

Gardner Campus - 10:30 a.m.

New Children's Community Groups

At Indian Creek there are many wonderful community groups (like MOPS) for adults to attend and grow in there relationship with Christ.  Starting in February there will now be community groups for children of all ages!  The only requirement is that one or more parents is involved in a community group at Indian Creek.  If you are currently enrolled in MOPS your children are eligible to attend Wednesday night classes and learn about the Bible this semester.  You do not have to attend a group at church on Wednesday night, you can drop your kids off and go to dinner or run errands.  I hope some of you take advantage of the opportunity for your kid's to hear God's Word while you have some time to yourself or maybe there is another community group you would like to attend.  I have included the information for the new children's community groups below, but please go to the Indian Creek website here to register your kids for groups or to check out what else the church has to offer for the Spring semester.  There are also classes for middle school, high school, and college students.
