Back Creek Church | Charlotte, NC

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life. He proceeds from the Father and the Son, and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified. He spoke through the prophets.

We believe... in one Lord Jesus Christ,  the only Son of God,      begotten from the Father before all ages,           God from God,           Light from Light,           true God from true God,      begotten, not made;      of the same essence as the Father.      Through him all things were made.      For us and for our salvation           he came down from heaven;           he became incarnate b...

We believe in one God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. 

We are called to welcome our neighbors with hospitality. In this message, we consider the gift, the grit, and the goal of hospitality as Jesus lived it. 

We must continue to welcome one another as Christ has welcomed us, and we must do so with our eyes on a mission that is not internally-focused but externally-focused. We are called to welcome our neighbors – seekers, social connections, and skeptics. Jesus and the Apostles show us how. 

By the grace given to Paul, he calls Christ followers to welcome one another by giving grace as we embrace humility, diversity, and charity. 

We welcome one another by gathering for worship and for connection. 

We believe groups are a valuable way to cultivate relational and spiritual growth because, though large crowds were following Jesus, he formed a smaller group with two goals: shared life and shared mission. 

We extend Christ's welcome to each other by telling the Gospel to one another and applying the Gospel with one another. 

God welcomes us unconditionally, sacrificially, and completely. 

One of the deepest questions of the human heart is "What is God like?"   John tells us to know what God is like, we look to Jesus and to those who belong to Jesus. 

This message invites us to pray for the grounding knowledge and experience of God's power and love. 

A church transformed by Jesus is a family centered on the Gospel and invested in one another. 

Jesus invites us to bring our circumstances to Him by bringing them to church. Bring your suffering to church that we might pray together Bring your song to church that we might praise together Bring your sickness to church that we might seek healing together Bring your sin to church that we might seek forgiveness together  

Hoping in stuff leads to sin and misery, but hoping in Christ leads to righteousness and joy! Hoping in stuff leads to the sins of idolatry, injustice, and indulgence while producing the miseries of elusive pleasure and eternal pain. Hoping in Christ leads to growth in patience, peace, and perseverance while bringing us the joy of knowing all pain is temporary and ultimate pleasure is forever - Je...

Jesus changes everything, including our default assumptions about time, control, and our good intentions. 

In this passage, the Apostle John teaches us who Jesus is, what Jesus did, and how we can respond to Jesus. 

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. 

In this passage, James confronts us with two kinds of wisdom available to us - worldly wisdom vs. godly wisdom. 

Because our words have tremendous power, we can use them to burn down or to build up. 

Evidence of true faith is not in what you say or what you know (though both are crucial), it's in how you are changed. 

Jesus exposes and changes our natural instincts toward partiality, rationalization of our sin, and judgment of others. 

Guest Preacher Donnie Bowker shares a message on The Journey through Genesis 24:27.

Guest Preacher, Rev, Brian Wood, delivers a message on loving Jesus more through the story of the sinful woman who anointed and kissed Jesus's feet.

Jesus changes our practice of religion: his Gospel sets us free from working to earn salvation and our delight becomes hearing God speak and doing what he says.
