We exist to learn the truth, love the truth and live the truth. We believe the Lord of Heaven and Earth has spoken and He has given us His Word, The Bible that we might know Him and be fully equipped to live as disciples (followers of Jesus) in this broken world. The Bible is the foundation for building a healthy life, from the youngest child to the most mature adult. At Parkers Creek we are eager to study, learn, and apply the Word of God in our lives that we might be fully devoted followers of Jesus. We recognize all are at different stages in this journey and this is a safe place to come and grow, love and be loved as we all seek to know Christ better!
LEARN THE TRUTH!
We believe that people are made to be in personal relationship with the God who created them, through the person of Jesus Christ. It is as we learn the Truth of God’s Word that this personal connection become a genuine reality
LOVE THE TRUTH!
As we love the Truth we experience true intimacy with our Creator. His Word is His love letter to us. We are passionate about helping people of all ages have a more intimate relationship with the Lord and this takes place as we love His Word and know Him better.
LIVE THE TRUTH!
The Truth of God’s Word will always result in life change. When we live the Truth we find our greatest joy and make our greatest impact for His Kingdom! We long to make Him known!
Our leadership
OUR DISCIPLESHIP PLAN
GROW
We become fully devoted followers of Jesus by growing personally as we seek the Lord and experience Him in a personal daily relationship. This is foundational as we understand that biblical Christianity is not mere religion but a relationship with a personal God who has created us to know Him.
GROUNDED
In an era where the gospel has been altered and nearly lost in many churches, we align with Paul in preaching Christ crucified and resurrected as the solution to our greatest problem—sin. We believe that only the entire Gospel of Jesus Christ has the profound resources necessary to address the deepest issues of our world.
GATHER
Because of the supremacy of Jesus, his body (the church), is instructed to gather regularly to see, sing of and celebrate his greatness, to show Christ-like character to one another, and to have our hearts filled for ministry as we serve in both “word and deed.”
GROUPS
We encourage everyone to join a group. We offer groups that meet in homes and at the church building, with some meeting in the evenings and others throughout the week. The goal of these groups is to experience genuine fellowship as you build relationships where you can pray for and encourage one another on a more personal level.
GOSPEL
Every believer is called to be salt and light in this broken world. Jesus’ first command was to “follow me and I will make you fishers of men,” and his final command was, “you shall be my witnesses.” We desire to equip Christ followers to be faithful and effective witnesses to those who do not know Him. We recognize that obeying this calling means reaching people in our own community and having a heart for the nations as well. We aim to be mission-minded!
GIFTS
Every follower of Christ has been gifted to serve for the purpose of building up the body of Christ and advancing His kingdom! Healthy Christians are those who find joy as they give of their time and energy to care for one another and to serve our community.
GIVING
In 1 Timothy 6 Paul urges Timothy to preach against the deceptive and dangerous allure of materialism which is a temptation for many. Instead, we are to be both content and generous with what God has entrusted to us, “being rich in good works.” In summary, we are to live simply and give sacrificially so we can thrive eternally.
