theCREEK Middle Scool

theCREEK Middle School on Sunday nights is a great place for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders to come exactly as they are.

Doors open 30 minutes before service at 4:30 pm for lobby games and Snack Shack.
If your student would like to purchase a snack, drink, or slice of pizza before service, they will need to bring a few dollars. Snack Shack will only be open before service.
Sunday night services for Middle Schoolers include worship, high-energy games, a relevant message, and then spending time in small groups.
Middle School service and small groups go from 5 to 6:30. We ask that Middle School students are picked up promptly to allow our High School students to enter the building.
Summer at theCREEK is always epic and always different! We host a wide range of events that connect our students to Jesus and each other while also providing time for vacations and, well, summer!
During the summer months we encourage you to check the Student calendar for the most updated event info.

theCREEK High School

9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th-grade students are invited to come be themselves and belong in community on Sunday nights at theCREEK High School.

Doors will open 30 minutes before service at 6:30 pm for lobby games and Snack Shack.
If your student would like to purchase a snack, drink, or slice of pizza before service, they will need to bring a few dollars. Snack Shack will only be open before service.
High School service will include worship and a message - then students will head into small groups.
High School service and small groups go from 7 to 8:30. We ask that High School students only arrive at the times listed above to allow our Middle School students to be in the building for their service.

theCREEK Contributors

Sunday nights would not be possible for our Middle School and High School students without the awesome adult contributors who sign up to serve and do life alongside students at theCREEK.

We are always in need of contributors to serve in the Snack Shack, at our large outreach events throughout the year, or to work in childcare on Sunday nights for theCREEK leaders as they serve.
You don’t need to know all the answers to their questions about God or even the latest slang, you don’t need to be perfect (we’re all people in process) and you don’t even have to know already how to be a leader - theCREEK staff is here to walk you all through it.

Student Mission Trips

Summer 2026 Missions Trips are only open for students currently in 10th-12th grade, and interviews to join a team are required. Sign-ups are closed at this time.

Currently, we are scheduled for Tegucigalpa, Honduras, in July 2026.

Sign ups are closed at this time. If you will be a 10th, 11th or 12th grader next year in the 2026-2027 school year be on the lookout next fall for sign ups!
If you are a parent and looking to attend a Missions Trip with your student, we encourage you to watch for the Plum Creek Family Missions Trips. At this time, we only take adults who are on theCREEK staff or serving as theCREEK contributors.

Stay updated.

The best way to stay up to date with last-minute event changes, photos and videos from service, and weekly details is to follow theCREEK on Facebook. Instagram, and YouTube.

Have a question?

The awesome Makenzie Grider would love to help you learn more about theCREEK and answer any questions you might have!

Ask Makenzie a Question

Can I get in touch with my student’s small group leader?

We know that students are more capable than maybe a lot of us give them credit for, and also, there may be a time that you’d like to reach a Small Group Leader directly to discuss your student. You can use that button above, and we’ll help make that happen.
