Creekside Church - AK

Volunteering is one of the best ways to get connected at Creekside Church. Whether it’s greeting guests, hosting a missional community, or volunteering at church behind the scenes – God’s given you unique talents to help build His church. Let’s help you find the perfect team to put them into action. At Creekside Church we seek a well rounded and complete view of our worship of God. One of the ways that we worship is by finding our place to serve the local body of Christ. Below you will find a list of opportunities to serve at Creekside. Take a look! We'd love to serve along side you!

Serving at Creekside is one of the best ways to connect with others, grow in your faith, and be part of what God is doing in our community. While we encourage everyone to find a place to serve, it’s not a requirement to belong here. Our hope is that as you grow in your relationship with Jesus, serving will become a joyful response to His grace—an opportunity to share His love with others and make a difference together.

ADULT DISCIPLESHIP Ministries

Do you have a heart for helping others grow in their faith?

Join us in encouraging and equipping others as disciples of Christ!

MISSIONAL COMMUNITIES

MISSIONAL COMMUNITY LEADER/CO-LEADER

Life on Life:

Spiritual Leadership: Provide consistent spiritual guidance through prayer, scripture reading (R.E.A.P.) and facilitate discussions that deepen members' faith and understanding of God's word.
Community Building: Foster a culture of openness, vulnerability, and mutual support, where each member is encouraged to grow in their relationship with God and others. Create opportunities for members to share their stories, challenges, and victories.
Accountability: Hold members accountable to Christ-centered values and encourage one another toward personal transformation and spiritual maturity.

Life in Community:

Evangelism: Encourage and equip the group to intentionally engage with those outside of the community (friends, neighbors, coworkers) to share the message of Christ and invite others to experience His love.
Discipleship: Create an environment where the group can grow in their ability to make disciples, nurturing relationships that go beyond just the group itself, extending the invitation to others to join in the faith journey.
Gospel Proclamation: Be intentional about creating opportunities for gospel-centered conversations, aiming to build relationships that open doors for the message of Jesus to be heard and embraced.

Life on Mission:

Outreach and Service: Lead the group in practical acts of service that demonstrate God's love to the local community. This could include volunteering at local shelters, supporting neighborhood initiatives, or meeting the tangible needs of others (e.g., food, housing, counseling).
The One: Ensure that the missional community focuses on ‘the one’ in each others lives that need to hear the gospel. This could mean inviting these people to events put on by the missional community or by praying over those people mentioned.
