Men At Creekside

Men at Creekside are focused on allowing God’s truth to challenge each other.  As iron sharpens iron, this group is filled with men who are seeking to learn, grow and apply God’s best for their lives and how they can encourage one another to live it out. 

Upcoming Events

Men's Huddle

The Easiest Way to Connect With Other Men

Sat, Mar 14

8:00 am

The Venue

Join us for our monthly Men’s Fellowship, The Huddle - where the coffee’s hot, the breakfast is hearty, and the conversation is real. It’s a relaxed, welcoming time for men to connect, laugh a little, and encourage one another as we grow in our walk with Christ.

Each month features a guest speaker or a down-to-earth devotional that’s practical, thought-provoking, and relevant to everyday life. Come hungry*, pull up a chair, and build friendships with men who are walking the same road you are.

Whether you’ve been around church for years or you’re just checking things out, men of all ages are welcome. No pressure—just good food, good company, and a chance to grow stronger together.

*Breakfast is available for a suggested $10 donation.

Guest Speaker:
Samuel Nandakumar

Last month, Matt Rau challenged us to settle our identity
— who we truly are in Christ.

In March, Pastor Samuel Nandakumar will build on that foundation as we dive into Chapter 2 of The Christian Man and tackle something every man wrestles with: balance.

Not balance on a beam — but balance in life.

Work. Family. Church. Finances. Health. Leadership.
How do we juggle it all without losing what matters most?

Isaiah 54:2 reminds us:

“Enlarge the place of your tent…do not hold back…
lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.”

As God enlarges our tent, our stakes must go deeper. Growth requires strength. Responsibility requires stability.

Men, this is practical. This is real. This is where we live.

Great food. Strong fellowship. Biblical challenge.

Theme for the year: DO NOT HOLD BACK.

Bring a man with you — and let’s keep building.

Creekside North Parking Lot

Car problems can be devastating, but our Vehicle Inspection Team (VIT) is here to help!  We’re excited to invite you to sign up for our upcoming Vehicle Inspection Team event—a simple way we want to serve and care for you.

The purpose of the VIT is to perform a free, thorough inspection and to help identify car problems before they become big, or potentially unsafe So, bring your car in and our team will look over the basics for you: the health of your battery, charging system, check engine light, tread depth on your tires, fluid levels, etc.

Life is busy, and car trouble often comes at the worst possible time. Our volunteer inspection team is here to help you catch potential issues before you’re stranded on the road or facing an expensive repair.

Here’s what you can expect:

·         A no-cost vehicle inspection

·         Performed by trained, trusted volunteers from our church

·         No sales, no pressure, no hidden agenda

·         Just honest help and practical care

This ministry is offered freely and intentionally. Our team serves out of a heart of love, believing that meeting practical needs is one way we reflect the love of Christ to one another.

Registration is full.

Helping Hands Ministry

The Helping Hands Ministry understands that most people will one day find themselves in a situation where they need help. We believe that the best place to find help in a time of need is from those in the household of faith. This group consists of caring individuals who want to make a difference in the lives of others.

Helping Hands provides practical assistance to those that are elderly, single mothers, and those that are not physically able. We are here to help by serving those that need assistance with light home repair, yard cleanup, fence repair, handicap ramps and stairs.  This ministry is not equipped to provide help for large projects and or specialized needs.

Occasionally the team has an opportunity to help in other ways around the church as well.

A Creekside attendee blessed by this ministry had this to say:
"I just can't thank you guys enough for all that you did. It just brings tears to my eyes when I think about how God took care of me through you.  Just keep on with those helping hands and I know God will continue to bless you."

To request assistance, scroll down to the "Contact Us" form, check the "Helping Hands Ministry" box and describe your need.

About Men's Ministry

Our mission is to give men the opportunity for growth in becoming more Christ Like.

This is accomplished by providing: comprehensive biblical studies; opportunities to foster friendships; special events
and service in ministry that helps build the community of God.

Men’s Ministry comes along side of men to help answer these questions: what does God desire of me as a servant, leader,
single man, father and husband?

And, how do I walk in the grace of God? All these questions are addressed in the various Biblical studies and events that are held
in our ministries.
