FOLLOW WISELY
Does it matter who you choose to follow? Yes! When you follow, copy, and learn from godly examples, you put God first and show love to others.
Jesus is the best example to follow. Learn about His life and His example in the Bible. When you follow, copy, and learn from ungodly examples, it hurts you because you’re ignoring God and following sin and wrong choices. When it’s time to choose whether you should follow someone’s example use godly wisdom. Remember to stop, think, then follow.

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
At Mill Creek, one of our greatest joys is leading and loving on our next generation. Our mission is building real life disciples connected to God, people, purpose and compassion. That begins at birth here at Mill Creek. We strongly believe in guiding, encouraging and supporting parents as they facilitate connection and build on what they teach at home.
- Nursery: Our loving volunteers begin that connection to God as a channel through which His love flows. Our babies - 2 years old learn 1 John 4:8, "God is love".
- Toddler/Pre-school: Our 2's through 4/5 year olds learn how Jesus wants us to connect to people. Kind words and actions are taught as they learn Matthew 7:12, "Do to others what you would want them to do to you".
- Pre-K/Kindergarten: As children enter Preschool through Kindergarten, we begin helping kids learn the pursuit of worship and how they fit into the big God story. To reinforce their connection to God and others they learn Matthew 22:37, 39, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart...soul...mind and love your neighbor as yourself" and Proverbs 16:24, "Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy to the body".
- The Zone: Our elementary students (1st-5th grade) begin each service with the adults in "big" church. We start to reinforce the idea that they have a purpose in this world through Ephesians 2:10, "We are his masterpiece, created anew in Christ Jesus". And that purpose for all of us is to love and serve as Romans 12:10 says, "Love each other deeply. Honor others more than yourselves".
