ABOUT US

Creekside Church is a dynamic, relevant, and growing congregation of 450+ people in Wasilla, Alaska. Wasilla is about 45 minutes outside of Anchorage and is beautifully nestled amongst the mountains in the Matanuska Valley. We are a non-denominational, non-charismatic evangelical church drawing people from all backgrounds. Our vision is to accomplish Jesus’ command to love him with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength and to love our neighbor as ourselves.  Our mission is to accomplish Jesus’ command to make disciples (who make disciples) of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them everything that Jesus commanded us. Our values are to become a church modeled after Acts 2:42…devoting ourselves to the Apostles teachings, to fellowship, to sharing in meals and to prayer. 

 

ABOUT THE OPENING

In 2020, Creekside Church hired a new Preaching and Teaching Pastor and now we are looking to fill a full time Worship Pastor position to join our growing church and staff.  The ministry is ready to be led and hasn’t had a full-time staff person since 2019. The team is currently being led by a paid, part-time worship leader, Sheri Williams (who is doing a great job) but it is time to open up the position for a full time Pastor and we are super excited about it!
