Who We Are
We’re a group of imperfect people, loved by a perfect God and called to something greater than we can even imagine. We seek to be a community of Christ followers, loving Jesus and others. And as an outpouring of God’s overwhelming love and work in our own lives, we want to be a group of people who are making a difference in the lives of others in our homes, city and world.
We’re Better Together!
You are important to God and important to us. Truly. It doesn’t matter where you come from, what you’ve done or what has been done to you, your worth is beyond measure, and we want to help you discover that truth. Our world can be a lonely and isolating place. The church is not a building – it’s ordinary people living and working together, sharing the extraordinary love of Jesus in our homes, city, and world. It’s loving others wherever we are and wherever people are. To do this, we need each other. We need connection. We need you.

Our History
Our church was launched in 2008 as a satellite campus of Calvary Church with the intent that someday we would grow to be self-sufficient. That day came in May of 2021, when the Big Creek members voted to become an independent church within the EFCA and with Gary Gann as the Senior Pastor. As of 2023, we have completed the transition to become an independent EFCA church and we are ever so grateful for the prayers, assistance and encouragement we have had from Calvary Church.
