Description of Organization
Creekside Community Church was planted as a member of the EFCA in 1968. Since then, Creekside has grown into an intergenerational family of Jesus followers. We are on mission together to love God and others, grow in Christ and community, and reach our neighbors and the nations. We pursue this mission by submitting ourselves to God’s Word, humbling ourselves in prayer, creating hospitable spaces, and living incarnational lives in our workplaces, schools, neighborhoods, and homes.
Creekside describes our theological distinctives as reformed baptist and complementarian.
Gainesville is a college town, home to the University of Florida. This town is rapidly growing, with great cultural experiences available through UF. And, we are only 1.5 hours from beaches on both coasts!
