Upcoming Events
There’s magic in movies. The action, the drama, the stories, the soundtracks and let’s not forget the popcorn! Movies can often help us escape from our real life, but also reflect on it too. That’s why we’ve created a movie experience that has become the highest rated series of our church the last few years. Join us this November for free popcorn and extended movie clips with a teaching straight from the Bible. All the magic without any of the cost - At the Movies is back this November, running every weekend from November 1st to November 30th during our regular service times. Due to copyright restrictions, this series is only played in person.

General Guidelines for Inviting Someone to Church
Be Genuine: Speak from your own experience and how CedarCreek has impacted you.
Focus on the Why: Share how church has brought you hope, purpose, or peace.
Keep It Open: Use phrases like, “If you’re open to it…” to keep the invitation pressure-free.
Be Specific: Offer to meet them at a specific service or time to make it easier.
Key Reminder: Invitations are about relationships, not pressure. Pay attention to their response, and let them know they’re always welcome!
Framework for Inviting
1. Something Missing
Listen for:
“I feel stuck”
“I’m just not happy”
“I don’t know what I’m supposed to do next”
What to say:
“I’ve felt that way too. What’s helped me is being part of something bigger than myself. CedarCreek has been a place where I’ve found purpose and hope. You might really enjoy it—want to come with me?”
“I know it’s hard to feel like something’s missing. I’ve found church to be a place that brings clarity and peace. If you’re open, I’d love for you to check it out with me.”
2. Something Broken
Listen for:
“Life is just so hard right now”
“I didn’t see this coming”
“I’m not sure what to do”
What to say:
“I can’t imagine what you’re going through, but I know CedarCreek has been a place where I’ve found support during tough seasons. I’d love for you to join me sometime—Christmas is a great time to start.”
“Sometimes life feels overwhelming, but I’ve found a lot of peace and direction at church. If you’re open, I’d love for you to come with me this weekend.”
3. Something New
Listen for:
“We just moved here”
“I’m starting a new job”
