Current Series
As we step into 2026, saying yes to God, join us for a new series where we get honest about the small, subtle shifts that can pull us away from where we hope to be. No one plans to drift. No one hopes to wake up farther from joy, love, or the life they imagined. But when left unchecked, small shifts can quietly move us off course and leave us somewhere we never expected. The good news? The Bible is full of real stories from people like us—and wisdom that helps us recognize the drift, correct our course, and let God guide our lives again.

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”
“We just had a baby”
What to say:

“New beginnings are such a great time to think about what’s important. Church has been a big part of that for me, and I’d love to share it with you.”
