DeerCreek Community Church
(DC3) is dedicated to moving beyond tradition in order to make a
difference in the lives of those
who have lost interest in the "Church as usual", those
who have not heard the Good News and the communities we serve. DC3
is committed to becoming an irresistible influence
for Jesus Christ and the mission he entrusted us with. We
are a church that tirelessly promotes committed
relationships with God, our "neighbor" and each other. We promote ongoing
care, education and training and then insist that the equipped return to
their homes, jobs and communities and make a difference for Christ. And we
love, not just because we are commanded to, but because we are compelled to
love God, love others and ourselves (Mark 12:30-31) as a result of the
transformation that has taken place within us.
DeerCreek is an inter-denominational community of faith made up of individuals with different
backgrounds but united in our commitment to become one. One with each
other, one with our community and one with all believers who seek Jesus
Christ as their Savior. Jesus prayed for us, "May they be brought to
complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them
even as you have loved me (John 17:23)."
At
the heart of this movement is a community of believers who are "of one mind and
one spirit" to share the love we have received and reach out to
all those who believe but have left "the Church" and those who have yet to
experience God's transforming love. We
invite you to join this team and help us make a difference. To God belongs all the glory.

We value, committed, authentic
relationships with God, our families and our neighbors.
Relationships that encourage, support and hold us accountable.

Education |

We value ongoing education. We
learn and study together in small group communities that challenge us to
know God's word and instruction for us.

Action |
| |
We value servant oriented action.
We know that the world is watching us and will see us serving not only
at DeerCreek Community Church but also in our communities, places of
work and at home. As we serve we will honor Christ's command to
"go and make disciples" sharing and spreading the Good News with all
those we come in contact with.
(Matthew 28:19-20; Proverbs 11:11) |

Love |
| |
We value unconditional love of all
people seeking to expose the unchurched to the Father that loves us all.
"For God so loved the world...We love. It is through this love
that we become an irresistible influence for Jesus Christ.
(John 3:16; Mark 12:30-31) |
