Our Church
Welcome to Creekwood Baptist Church, a new Christian ministry in the quickly vanishing corn and bean fields of eastern Rockford. Creekwood was the vision of an established church to move from their inner city location and begin a new church that would minister to the spiritual, emotional, relational, and physical needs of the expanding housing and business areas of eastern Rockford. Our goal is to provide a holistic ministry to all ages, all types of families, in an ethnically and racially mixed environment as we share the love of Jesus Christ in both word and deed.
In June 2005 we completed the second phase of our ministry center by adding a gymnasium and eight additional classrooms. This allows us to better match our ministry to the ages of the adults and children to whom we are ministering.
Because of our desire to reach all ages, we have chosen a blended worship style with both contemporary and traditional music. We have a choir as well as a worship team, piano as well as organ, drums as well as hand bells and chimes. Our worship center is decorated with a stunning hand-made cross as well as beautiful praise banners. Our preaching and teaching of God's eternal truths found in the Bible are directed toward application into our everyday family lives and work situations.
Whether you are just exploring what it means to be a Christian or have followed
the teachings of Jesus for many years, we invite you to come and visit Creekwood.
Just like the congregations new start, Creekwood is a place of new beginnings,
new friends, new experiences, new knowledge and life skills, and new challenges.
It is a place where you can share your own experiences and gifts to help change
our community and the world as we seek to know Jesus Christ and make Him known.
