Church in a water park?
Posted on 10. Aug, 2009 by Chris in Blog
Yes, the rumors are true, we do church every year at a water park. One service for everyone. And right after, people swim and play for free. You may find it curious. You may find it insane. But here’s the thing, God never intended the church to hide in a building. The early churches were part of a community and a gathering spot. And in the summer, in Brentwood, where do people hang out, if not the water park?
So we do service there every year. But that’s not the best part. The best part is this: we baptize people in those pools. Anyone. Everyone. If you haven’t been part of a baptism service where people decide, on the spot, that they want to get baptized, there’s nothing like it. This year we doubled the number of people that had signed up in advance. It was awesome!
Check out the service here.
Bet the Farm

“Bet the farm” … to risk everything you have because you are certain of something.
“I’m all in!” … a move in poker that either doubles you up or puts you out of the game.
Is it ever a wise move to “Bet the farm” … to go “All in”?
As another fall begins, I am ready to “Bet the Farm” … to go “All in” … to RISK it all!
I am convinced that God wants to do Something BIG in this little corner of His Kingdom called Creekside … and for the coming year beginning NOW I want to be willing to really risk it all for Him and be a part of what He is going to do.
I’m not sure what the year ahead will look like … but I’m sure that it will be a terrifying – exciting – liberating – crazy – white-knuckle of a ride.
JOIN ME IN THE JOURNEY
If you are already a part of the Creekside family, my journey will be yours too.

If you live outside of the bay area of northern California, would you please pray for us … that we might discover the Something BIG that God wants to do through us.
“Bet the farm” … “I’m all in” … This is crazy!!! – But then, weren’t most of Jesus’ followers a little crazy?
