Bear Creek Community Church exists to help people find life with Jesus.

The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. - John 10:10 (NLT)

Our Vision

To be a movement that transforms our city with the life of Jesus

OUR CORE VALUES:

We Go Missionally.

Jesus came seeking and saving the lost and He has sent us to do the same. Our individual lives and corporate efforts reflect this conviction. We understand our greatest resource is our people, and we send every person as an incarnational missionary back into the regular rhythms of life with new intentions—to share the good news of Jesus and help others find life with Jesus.

Scripture Foundation: Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8, Luke 19:10, John 20:21

We Love People.

We believe every person matters to God, therefore they also matter to us. We long to see others as God sees them and love them as Christ loves us. Love isn't optional—it's our trademark. This love flows into genuine compassion, meeting people where they are and loving them toward Jesus.

Scripture Foundation: Matthew 9:35-39, John 13:34-35, 1 John 4:19-21, Matthew 22:36-40

We Lead With Authenticity.

We are real people who have found real life with Jesus. Authenticity is essential for shared life with Jesus and others. We don't put on masks but live authentically, being fully known by God and others, bringing all of our life into the light.

Family gathering in a dining room with children and adults seated at a long wooden table, some eating and some chatting, with additional seating in a living room area with sofas in the background.

We live with the front door wide open. There's always room at our table, space in our homes, and time in our lives to make strangers friends and friends family. True hospitality creates space for people to belong and grow together.

Scripture Foundation: Romans 12:13, Hebrews 13:2, 1 Peter 4:9, 3 John 1:8

We Extend Radical Hospitality.

We Build Committed Community.

Life was never meant to be done alone. We build committed community by sharing life together—not just attending together but living together. This means being invested, not just involved, choosing to intertwine our stories with others.

Scripture Foundation: Hebrews 10:24-25, Acts 2:42-47, 1 Corinthians 12:12-27, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Neon sign with pink and white letters reading, 'don't just take, give,' against a dark background.

We are stewards, not owners. We live generously with our time, talents, and resources, believing it's truly better to give than receive. Generosity is the overflow of hearts that have experienced abundant life in Jesus.

Scripture Foundation: 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, Matthew 6:19-21, Acts 20:35, Luke 12:13-21

We Live Generously.
