Welcome
Thanks for checking out Creekside Church and our ministry to the people of the Mat-Su Valley in Wasilla, Alaska! We are a church of real people, with real lives, real brokenness and a real love for Jesus and our community. Creekside is a non-denominational, non-charismatic, evangelical church with people of diverse backgrounds and walks of life. We are deeply committed to proclaiming the love and mercy of Jesus to a broken world, making disciples who will bring glory to God with their lives. We are not perfect and have a lot of growing to do, but we are so thankful that God is doing a deep, healing work in us so that we might accomplish the Great Commandment and the Great Commission, for His glory. We long to be a place where people can meet Jesus, engage in life-giving community, and feel connected to our church family. We believe in creating a space where people can have authentic encounters with Christ, discover their gifts and use them for God's glory. If this is your first time visiting a church or you've been in church your whole life, we welcome you to join us this Sunday and we would love for you to become a part of our Creekside family.
..::OUR HISTORY
Creekside Church began in 1959 serving the roughly 300 people living in the Wasilla and Knik-Goosebay area. Over the years, as the community grew, so did the church. Construction began in its current location sometime in the late 80s, moving into the upstairs sanctuary in 1989 where services were held until the current worship center was built in 2018. On July 1, 2018, we moved into our new worship center. The old building and office space has become home to Creekside Kids, a dynamic worship venue and classrooms for the church’s growing children’s and youth ministries. Today, Creekside Church is a growing church, approximately 750 people, with 475+ in attendance each week between two large group gatherings on Sunday morning. Our heart is to make disciples who make disciples, helping people grow through dynamic worship, practical expository teaching from God’s Word, and weekly missional communities, our primary means for discipleship (life in Christ, life in Community, life on Mission).
..::OUR LEADERSHIP
Creekside Church is an Elder led church, with a Lead Pastor. We have adopted a shared model of spiritual leadership and function with a plurality of Elders, equally serving, leading and shepherding the church. Our Spiritual Leadership Team is made up of the Lead Pastor and several lay Elders. We are committed to lead in unity and in plurality.
..::OUR MISSION/VISION
As a church, we are committed to following our leader, Jesus, as we live out his command to love him with all of our hearts, love others sacrificially and make disciples of all nations. In an effort to clearly state, in our own words, what it is we are committed to, we have written a mission/vision statement to guide us in accomplishing God’s purposes for Creekside Church.
“Creekside Church will PROCLAIM CHRIST crucified, buried, and risen; will MAKE DISCIPLES who are abiding in Jesus, being transformed by Jesus, and are on mission with Jesus; and will GLORIFY GOD in everything.
