Welcome to Poplar Creek Church!
We're so glad that you've decided to check out our website. We hope that this information is helpful for you and that you join us sometime!
Poplar Creek is a true "come as you are" community, and one that does not impose any kind dress code. It is our deep desire to be radically authentic in everything we do including the times that we gather together. On any given Sunday morning, you'll find individuals both in suits, and in shorts, so please feel free to simply come as you'd like!
Services – Sundays 9am & 11am
Communion: Because we believe that Jesus Christ is the key and central figure in history and that we are called as a body to be fully Gospel-centric, we choose to celebrate the Lord's Supper each week as a reminder and celebration of the price paid for our salvation and the call to live as Jesus did.
Gifts (Tithes and Offerings): At Poplar Creek we do not "pass a plate" to collect the tithes and offerings. Instead, we have our "Joy Box" in the back of the auditorium where all are encouraged to give their first fruits to God. If you'd like, you may also give a gift online here as well.
We do encourage everyone to bring a Bible with them on Sunday mornings, but we also are sure to have the text available on the screen during the services as well. If you do not have a Bible and would like one, please let one of our friendly Greeters know and they'll be happy to get one for you!
Our services typically run somewhere between 70-80 minutes in length, but we also believe passionately that the Holy Spirit is the one who is truly in control and seek to be open and sensitive to his leading as well.
Nursery – For our youngest attenders (0-3 years) we have a fully staffed nursery during our worship gatherings located in the back of the auditorium. Upon entering our building, this room can be found to the left.
Children - Our wonderful Children's Ministry takes place in our lower level at the same time as our Sunday morning worship gatherings and is for children ages three years through grade six. We are excited and committed to teaching our children of the Good News of Jesus Christ in a safe and nurturing environment. Our curriculum is not only age-appropriate, but deeply biblically based as well.
Teens – Because we are a genuinely inter-generational community, our students are encouraged to worship with the greater church community on Sunday mornings and bring such vibrancy to our time together! Our young people also have a mid-week student ministry geared specifically for them that meets on Wednesday evenings at 7pm in our lower level.
Our teens also participate in numerous outreach, fellowship and service events throughout the year.
