Mission of the Month

Through serving experiences, our Rooted groups have opportunities to serve those in our community in a variety of ways. As a group, they work together to serve our community.

This spring, one of our Rooted groups had the opportunity to serve at Midwest Food Bank. Volunteers are the heart and soul of MFB. They rely heavily on volunteers to help them organize and distribute food to those that need it the most. When a group serves at Midwest, they repackage bulk foods, box a variety of other items, and help create pallets of food for pickups. What a great way to partner and support this organization as they seek to alleviate food insecurity in the Indianapolis area.

One of our Rooted groups recently served at Unconditional. This organization unconditionally loves women in the sex industry with the love of Christ, to empower, and encourage them on their journey, and equip them for a full and healthy life. We're encouraged by the work they are doing and often connect groups with serving opportunities there.

Our Rooted group was able to purchase items in advance to gift the women they work with but they also purchased items for housing kits that can be given to women as they help women transition into new housing. This group spent a Saturday morning learning more about Unconditional and then supporting them by organizing all of these donated items so they are ready to distribute as needed.

When you think of serving in your neighborhood, community, or with local partner organizations you are passionate about, cleaning and painting projects are good ones to start with. Projects that are tangible ways to show love to those within your surrounding community.

Creek Lifegroups, Rooted groups, and Middle School and High School groups have helped serve at Southeastway Park, Outreach, Horizon House, local school partner, and multiple other partner organizations. Watching groups from our Creek family step up and provide these tangible acts of love for others is truly incredible! 

We've seen our Creek family love and support their neighbors by helping do yard work or helping with repairs at the home of a single mom or elderly neighbor. Regardless of the ways you choose to serve, it's a outflow of Christ’s love to those around you is beautiful and a great way to continue moving forward His Kingdom!

Many partner organizations with The Creek rely on donations of all kinds throughout the year. Kids of all ages in Kidustrial Park and Student Ministry regularly collect items to support these local organizations. It is so great to watch the next generation serve the community.

Over the holidays this year, our students collected laundry pods to donate to Outreach.These laundry pods go a long way to help support their youth and remove obstacles for moving forward.

This spring, kids of all ages collected snacks for Thomas Gregg Neighborhood School. Hunger can be a barrier for students trying to focus on the testing they are doing and this donation provides a much needed support.
