Creekside Student Ministry is a special place to know and be known.
We're all about students 6th - 12th grade.
There is a place for YOU here!

Our goal is to connect students with the life- altering truth of Jesus Christ and to lead them into a growing relationship with such an awesome God. We are about changing lives!

Creekside Student Ministry is built around preparing young people to live out strong Biblical principles and live for Jesus as they move from our direct care and into the world. The Student Ministry at Creekside seeks to partner with parents by becoming a resource, not a replacement for parental involvement. We encourage parents to get involved in this important ministry, and we welcome the gifts and talents that each person brings to the table. We are dedicated to developing relationships with every student that walks through our doors. We believe that God has a special place for every one of His children, and our responsibility to help them open the door to Him weighs heavy on our hearts.

Our regular student activities include:
Sunday Morning Bible Study
Sunday Night Activities
Wednesday Night Small Groups

In addition, there are other events scheduled throughout the year.

Student Ministry Missions:
At Creekside, we are excited that our students lead the way in ministry outside the church. Our missions strategy is to help students understand that life is not all about themselves – it’s about serving others. It is the Biblical example. Each year we provide opportunities to serve others locally, nationally and internationally. We know that students are busier than ever, so we also partner with organizations that make it easy for students to be involved without having to travel all over to serve. Locally, we are involved with several ministries, including Church on The Street and Atlanta Women and Children’s Mission. Our International partnerships include Compassion International, Toms Shoes, Blood:Water Missions and Bite Back Uganda. On international mission trips, we have traveled to Mexico and Ecuador. Stateside, we have traveled to Charleston, S.C. and the Gulf Coast.

Our largest local missions opportunity, C.O.P. (Community Outreach Project) is our summer community service project, a work-oriented missions ministry serving the elderly and needy in our area. This is an opportunity for students to reach out to the community they live in and to be the hands and feet of God for those that might not know Him.
