Creek Kids

KNOW, LOVE, AND MAKE HIM KNOWN

kidsAt The Creek, the Bible is the foundation and guide for educating our children. We seek to impart the truth of the whole Bible and encourage children to develop a Biblical mindset and a Christian world view.

Willow Creek is committed to helping Creek Kids establish and build relationships with Jesus Christ. To accomplish this goal, Willow Creek has ministries that use age-appropriate teaching, activities, worship, and small groups to help children and students take the next steps in their spiritual journeys.

We want to encourage children to:

  • Know who God is
  • Recognize their sinful state and respond in repentance and faith in Jesus Christ
  • Love God and make Him known

Finally, we seek to help children see the hand of God at work in the world, and to recognize and use their spiritual gifts for the good of the body and the world.

It is our desire to come alongside parents in nurturing the faith of their children. Our responsibility is to model and teach the truth of Jesus Christ in an attitude of prayer.

WHAT IS A TYPICAL SUNDAY LIKE?

We offer great ministries from the nursery on up. If you have children 5th grade and under, you will need to check them in at our Creek Kids kiosk (straight ahead as you enter the front doors). You will be asked to register your children in our secure database. This information provides us with essential family and emergency contact information and will allow us to keep you informed on the latest news and events for Creek Kids.
Children are issued a nametag with a unique identification code when checking-in. The parent will be given a receipt with the matching identification number(s) to submit in order to pick-up their children.
At Willow Creek, we place a high priority on security. We want to provide a safe and secure place for your children to learn and grow. All of our children’s ministry volunteers must be members of Willow Creek and pass a standard background test.
