UPCOMING EVENTS
Sunday Worship Schedule: Worship Times
May 11: Mother’s Day: This is another big day when families come to worship God. Bring your mother to worship with you on Mother’s Day! It’s also a good time to share Jesus with those in our community. If you have a friend or neighbor who is a mother but does not have a church home, invite her to come and worship with your church family!
May 13, Tuesday: Song Book Sing Along: Join us at 11:00am in the cafe for a Song Book Sing Along, an extra opportunity during the week to get together and sing some of your favorite hymns of all-time. A group will go to the Cookie Jar after the sing along.
May 18, Sunday: Senior Recognition Celebration: The time is coming when our beloved seniors begin to graduate and prepare for the next chapter in life and we want to celebrate them! In both worships, we’ll have a time of prayer over them with our church family, and there will be a slideshow showcasing each senior. Seniors will have their tables set up in the gym so come by to see and encourage them during these times: after the first worship at 10:00-10:15, after class, and after the second worship. This is a great time for past teachers, elders, and members who have been a part of your child’s spiritual life to encourage them as they transition into the next stage of life. The Senior Recognition Ceremony will be in the Worship Center at 1:15pm. Everyone is invited to come as we celebrate each one of our graduating seniors. Information | list of Seniors
Adult Sunday Morning Bible Classes. Join a Bible study class on Sunday at 10:15am. All of our Bible classes focus on: Reflecting On Scripture (studying in a way that leads to application and transformation), Service (providing opportunities to serve both on Sunday morning and during the week), and Connection (fostering relationships that can be deepened through small groups).
Please invite college age and young professionals to attend a class just for them Sundays at 10:15am in Room A9.
For additional information, please click links for Kids, Youth, and Upcoming Activities.
Get Connected. Taking your next step to become more like Jesus is best done with others who are on the same journey. If you don't have a dedicated group of people to walk alongside with you, we will help you find a group.

TEACHING
May 11: Mother's Day This Mother’s Day, we’re diving into the tension every parent—and really, every person—feels: the gap between the ideal and the real. You had a vision for how life, marriage, parenting, or faith would look… and then reality showed up with a stack of laundry and a silent spouse. But what if God does His best work not in the ideal, but right in the real? Join us this Sunday as we meet a mother in Scripture who lived in that gap—and changed a generation because of it.
Join us in-Person at 9:00am (acapella) or 11:15AM (instrumental) or Livestream at YouTube.com/Clearcreekcoc or clearcreek.online.church.
