What should I do when I arrive?

When you arrive, you will find clear signage and our friendly volunteers there to help direct you.  We have hot coffee and complimentary pastries for you in our reception area. If you have children ages birth through fifth grade, you can check them in at that same reception area, and then head into the worship service.

You will receive a program and a pen on your way into the service.  This program will include message notes, important information, and a connection card, which you will turn in at the end of the service.

And on your way in, if you have questions, just look for one of our courteous volunteers They're always happy to help!

How should I dress?

We care more about you than what you wear, so the dress is always "come as you are."  At Town Creek, you will find great variety in how people dress. Dress how you are most comfortable, and you will fit right in – shorts and suits are equally welcomed.

What are the messages like?

Our goal every Sunday is to teach the timeless truths of the Bible in a way that is engaging and applicable to your life. You will find that the messages are practical, easy to understand, and grounded in Scripture. 

What is the music like?

The music at Town Creek is uplifting, exciting, and engaging. Each week, the musical worship features our band with live keyboard, piano, drums, bass, and electric guitar. Our praise team and choir lead us in singing some of the newest praise songs that are written along with classic hymns. We want to engage everyone in a meaningful time of praising and worshiping God.

What's available for my kids?

During the 11am service, our top-tier volunteers invest in your kids through leading them in an age-appropriate Bible lesson along with crafts and games. This ministry is available as an option for families with kids ages birth through fifth grade. If you prefer, you are welcome to keep your kids with you in the service if you like. We are glad to offer this option during the service. Our volunteers are all background checked and trained to provide your kids with a safe, Bible-based, and engaging experience. 

What's available for my middle and high school students?

Through a variety of fun activities and a regular calendar of events, Town Creek fosters community among middle and high school students who are looking to live out their faith in this generation. Your students will accelerate their spiritual growth through Bible study groups, discussing real-world topics, and enjoying volunteer and mission projects that create opportunities for them to be a part of what God is doing in the world around them.

What's available during the week?

Throughout the week, we have groups that meet and study God's Word and engage in community service projects. On Wednesday nights, your kids can have an amazing time with AWANA Clubs (Read More), and you can connect with other parents in a time of focused prayer and Bible Study.
